Tank The Gas Tax

 Do you know that there is going to be an automatic annual increase in the gas tax? How can that be? 

I found this information to be so upsetting that I had to share with anyone who would listen.
This summer the legislature passed into law a linking of the gas tax

to the Consumer Price Index!  That means as inflation rises so does the

Massachusetts gas tax.  It is the gas tax to infinity and beyond.

Worse yet, it is taxation without representation.  Legislators never

have to vote again to raise our taxes, but our taxes will go up! What

if the CPI goes down?  You will still be paying 24 cents per

gallon!  The legislature capped the minimum you will pay, but they did

not cap the maximum we will all pay at the pump.

This tax increase is directly aimed at the working poor and middle

class.  It will not only increase the cost of commuting to work, but it

will also hike up the costs of food and clothing. Remember, 24 cents is

just the state’s gas tax.  It doesn’t include the federal gas tax.

How do we end this taxation without representation?

We pass a ballot question in November 2014.  The first step in the

process is collecting 100,000 signatures.  Will you help us? We need  to collect signatures and to sign our petitions. For more information go to...www.tankthegastax.org
