The idiots in CT are paying $8.70/pack. -·- John
Michigan. $1.00 Federal, $2.00 state, and since this state taxes the entire price of something (i.e. taxes tax) another 18 cents for sales tax on the tax. And you still haven't bought anything yet, just tax!
The governor got rid of a lot of business taxes, passed a 'right-to-work' law and increased a bunch of taxes on pensions, etc. to recoup some of the lost income. His idea being that makes the state more competitive for businesses to come into the state. Now he's talking about increasing the gas tax (fourth highest in the country now) to 'improve the roads' or increase the sales tax two percent to 'improve the roads'. And if that happens all the money currently allocated to 'fix the roads' will go someplace else and we'll be in the same place we are now. Bastiches...
