The California gas tax is about to increase by 50 cents per gallon, hitting residents hard. With Democrats in full control of the state, prices are already high, with gas reaching as much as $6.32 per gallon in some areas. The new tax is part of efforts to improve air quality, but many see it as just another burden imposed by the ruling party.
Since leaving California in 2011, the author has noticed a shift in the demographic makeup of the state, with the middle class being replaced by the wealthy, the poor, and illegal aliens. This shift has allowed Democrats to maintain a stronghold on power, ensuring their dominance in state elections. Despite these challenges, the author finds solace in the federalist system that allows for movement to states with more favorable policies.
In the face of potential future challenges, the author remains optimistic about finding refuge in places like Wyoming. The article also mentions the author’s novel, “Borrowed Time,” which has received positive reviews from readers.
