California should just leave the Union. We're all bunch a freaks that just bitch at the rest of the country for its failures. We have produced losers... I mean citizens like mayor Gavin Newsome in San Francisco who is hell bent on making his own laws regardless of what the Government says is right or wrong. You have Michael Newdow who is an atheist and a non-conformist and wants you to know it. I mean take a look at this guy, it's almost the exact opposite of an Amish person and just as offended by anything. Gotta hand it to Mike though, he's got the 9th Circuit Court on his side. And look what these people do. And then the Pearcy's and their soldier effigy, and as I said "Under the guise of free speech" . Too bad it's Un-American.... shame on them for shaming our soldiers and our flag. (I can say it all I want lefty's because IT'S FREE SPEECH!!!)
That leads me to my topic... Driving. I drive a lot. I cross the bridges in the Bay Area at least once a week. I have a system of paying the least amount of tolls as possible. I will drive from Sactown to San Francisco over the Bay Bridge for my first toll and then head home over the Golden Gate through Hwy 37. Seems long but it does cover the people I need to see in those areas. If I went the other way it'd cost me 8 to 11 bucks and not 3. I save money! Conservative and fiscally responsible.
One current law is starting to impact and another may come our way if Schwarzenegger does get his way. First off AB426 or something close to this I heard on the radio. See California has like the highest gas prices in the nation. I saw prices this summer actually lower in Hawaii than they were in San Francisco if you can believe that. Why are they higher? Something to do with additives they needed to clean our air but then destroyed our water and then they had to convert refineries to remove it. (Huh?) On top of that, TAXES. And part of these are for AB426 which is used to improve our highways. Good right? Wrong! AB426 is used to widen our highways but then when they are widened with a new lane it becomes a CAR POOL lane for the 5% of the population fortunate enough to have 1 or 2 friends with them. So while you are jamming brakes on while a old white haired Asian lady is merging into bumper to bumper traffic in front of you, your gas tax is paying for the jerk with friends in the fast, CAR POOL lane. What part of this is fair? You suffer for ten months watching them put this lane in and you can't use it, EVER!!! Unless you bring your wife to work with you. Why would you want that stress?
The other thing our multi-termed State Legislature is proposing is charging people a tax per mile we drive each year. You'd report to the DMV the amount of miles you drove each year to off set the removal of our gas taxes. Sound crazy? Gavin Newsome in Frisco has a plan to do this downtown in San Francisco to reduce traffic. Hmmm... This makes total sense. Well not really, if the State does it, people that commute to LA and San Francisco Bay Areas to work each day are screwed. Housing prices to work in these urban and celebrity ridden areas are out of this world. So these nice, hardworking Californians (in red counties if you look at the map) who live out of the major urban areas where homes are affordable and life is good, have to pay the heavier tax for driving into the big cities (ie. if you look at the map again, the blue counties) where they couldn't afford to be live in the first place. It balances the equation, right? Wrong! I think its a ploy to get back at us red folk who voted for Bush and figuring they had the populations. You think about it. Wasn't it why they installed the carpool lanes, under the guise of saving the environment and encouraging people to carpool? To make life harder for us Republicans? Living cheap and free in the valleys?
