Remember that it’s Democrats raising taxes
To the Editor:
So the Democrat North Carolina state senators have waived off the chance to cap the automatic 4 percent gas tax increase set for January, claiming they’ll lose jobs and money needed for roads. Liars. This is not a “loss.” It’s an increase on top of the existing gas tax that already supports jobs and roads. But they’re more than willing to rip an additional $95 million out of our pockets. Gotta pay for those ever-increasing union salaries and benefits somehow!
Remember who is raising taxes the next time you fill your tank.
