When they were first built, people were told the tolls were a temporary fixture to pay for the costs of construction, then they'd be removed. These toll bridges are still collecting money from the working poor today.
I remember back in 1985 when my county put in a "temporary" 1% addition to the sales tax. Here it is 40 years later and the 1% has expanded to 1.75% and is still "temporary". It is a joke.
Sales taxes are the most regressive taxes on the poor.
The sad reality is the GCCCP is trying to resurrect the "fair tax"...a 30% national sales tax on EVERYTHING.
