Yes, he said everyone pays taxes, not everyone pays surcharges, but that's not a true distinction. Not everyone pays income tax, not everyone pays property tax, if you only buy groceries, you don't pay sales tax. That doesn't stop them from being taxes.

Surcharge is just a BS word for tax.

All the rest aside that's exactly what Benton said.  

Ask the average Joe if they pay taxes and they'll all say yes even if they don't how much or how many.  Most probably don't even know what a surcharge is.

Now, when PA had a GOP Gov. he promised to never raise taxes...but he raised every charge in the state from driver's licences to auto inspection to anything he could get his hands on.  And we all knew this was a different way to collect the tax revenues.

But he never raised taxes.

Until right before he lost and left office and instituted, with the help of the GOP controlled legislature, a series of gas taxes on the gas companies...not the consumer.  Because those never get handed down to the end user.
