Why I'm voting NO on the gas tax.
Advertisements [?]
It seems a little counter-intuative to me, a liberal democrat, to be voting AGAINST a tax to fund the repair of roads and bridges, but it's not without rational thought. Bush passed his tax cut to benefit the richest among us. Now, all of the sudden there's not enough money to fund city infrastructures, so they come looking to us, the poor and middle class to realise the funds, in essence, indirectly asking us to fund the tax cut for the rich. Well, I'm voting no.

However you decide to vote, please make sure you get out and do so.
