Starting tomorrow state gas taxes will rise in several states

Ever notice that gasoline prices are way higher in some states than in others?  Some of that is due to state regulations on the exact types of blends a state allows to be sold at different times of the year, but some of it due to...state taxes.

For example, California has the highest gas prices in the nation.  What few Americans know is that greedy lawmakers in Cali grab almost 42 cents in tax on every gallon sold. 

But as you could have guessed, this isn't enough for the greedy Democrats who have huge majorities in the state legislature:  Starting tomorrow they'll raise the fuel tax to 47 cents per gallon.  Yay!

Starting Monday lawmakers in Illinois will double that state's gas tax, from 19 to 38 cents per gallon.

By comparison, Ohio residents weren't punished as harshly:  Starting Monday Ohio's gas tax will rise by 10.5 cents per gallon.

In all cases, politicians have decided they need more of your money to spend on...whatever they want.
