Fair enough, I will admit I forgot that a couple states do that. I've never lived in a state where they did.

1. 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. 2. 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.  3. Because those never get handed down to the end user.  

1. So lying, using misleading terms, and taking advantage of ignorance makes it okay to not consider it a tax?

2. Yeah, and that's shady AF. Might as well mug you and say "at least I didn't raise taxes!" If a person did that where I lived, I would have seen about getting that person out of office as soon as possible be it petition or the next election. The benefit of me prioritizing my interests over party loyalty.

3. Yeah, could never imagine how consumers would end up paying for that. Lol
