One Joseph Freddoso, chairman of the Regional Transportation Alliance, reveals his strong support for socialism in N.C.'s roads need all the gas tax they get, as published in the News and Observer of Raleigh.

In the article, Mr. Freddoso strongly supports increased gas taxes. He even goes so far with his support as to suggest that a 3-cent cut in the gas tax would take $3 BILLION from the state's roads. Mr. Freddoso is not clueless, so he must just be dishonest.

He actually states that reducing the gas tax by 3 pennies (which JUST increased a few days ago) would "irreparably harm transportation in North Carolina." Yes, you read that right -- the state would simply fall apart if the 3 cent increase that's been in place for less than 2 weeks were removed.

Way down at the end of the article, he reveals that he's not clueless, just socialist, when he says, "I do agree with those who object to transportation taxes and fees being used for purposes other than transportation."

So he KNOWS the gas tax isn't going to be used for transportation, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't increase the gas tax. You see, if only 10% of all increases in gas taxes go to roads, then we should just increase the tax even MORE so that we get enough for the roads -- instead of actually following the North Carolina Constitution and using the gas tax for roads.

But feel safe, subjects peons lower-class citizens people of North Carolina -- a committee is meeting! Oh, but that "Special Committee" on the gas tax?

the committee does not have any power
