The government gets us with all this little taxes and fees all the time. Death by a thousand cuts.
And I'm not anti tax...just wish they'd use the funds they have more efficiently.
I'm aware that, for me, complaining about taxes can come of as hypocritical, as they pay my salary. That being said, it is as you say, I don't mind the taxes if they get spent on worthwhile projects, programs, etc. Ostensibly the gas tax I referred to above was supposed to go solely to road repair/improvements. No one is seeing anything resembling an increase in this kind of work. In any event, CA taxes you to death in pretty much every conceivable fashion.
