A $.10 fee is now being added to each gallon of gas, before sales tax, in California. It is a tax, but that isn’t what they are calling it. Instead, the fee is described as an amount paid by gas retailers when distributors load tanker trucks.
So California drivers are being forced to pay a tax on a tax. How soon will other states follow?
“The global warming fee, which is variable and could soar in the future, added about a dime this week,” Dan McSwain of UT San Diego said. “Then the state adds 2.25% of the full retail price – including those other fees and taxes – while city and county sales taxes add more (0.5% in most of San Diego County).”
Many drivers haven’t noticed the increase yet due to the plummeting gas prices, but they will eventually because the $0.10 per gallon fee is not a set price – it’s determined by California’s “cap-and-trade” market in which various industries trade their permits covering specific amounts of emissions, the total of which is capped by the state.
In other words, the “global warming” fee can go up.
“In August, California’s legislative analyst estimated that, by 2020, retail prices were likely to rise between 13 cents and 20 cents a gallon because of cap-and-trade,” McSwain added. “But the analyst, Mac Taylor, warned that increases could exceed 50 cents in some cases.”
“And an oil-industry group warned the costs could spike to 76 cents, based on state figures.”
This is intentional; the “cap-and-trade” system was designed to raise gas prices and energy costs using artificial scarcity created through the hoax of man-made “global warming.”
“Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” President Obamatold reporters in 2008. “Coal-powered plants, you know, natural gas, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money.”
“They will pass that money on to consumers.”

Keith Ginn, Kenny Lynch, what will they think of next?
f**e
Just like the cig tax. Taxed again at point of sale
LMAO sounds like someone needs to read the actual tax laws for this country seems like the question is why are they tax a fee for someone to nothing to do with it but the individual who is actually created this propaganda needs to be paying for this$#%&!@*not the public it’s actually bad enough that the United States American citizens are paying for federal taxes and labor taxes were actually designed for corporations not individual but unfortunately the government allows the federal reserve system bankcartel do whatever they and making sure that the American citizens to pay for something they don’t even own. Must be nice to actually for all the deadly chemicals in everything you eat and drink because they tax you to die of the vaccines and food and anything you drink for profit of money. So I kinda wondering why this is. Some reason or another seems like this is similar reason why the United States had a civil war because of someone wants to tax and take$#%&!@*from individual for something that they actually obviously didn’t own so they just take it. Sorry that is what a 2 year old child does. Unfortunately this is actually how the federal reserve bank works and the U.S. government is actually doing nothing about. So kinda obvious that this is unconstitutional in the United States but unfortunately the children that created capitalism to control is actually pretty much nothing more than a over grown child taking what is truly not there’s theft at it’s finest only in America this$#%&!@*happens.
BULL SHET !
