I was under the impression that the Oil Tax and Cig Tax would win for sure. With so many nonprofit organizations and big names like Bill Clinton pushing the bill, I thought it would win for sure.
I am kind of shocked that it loss. I am no expert on politics, but I have a strange feeling Californians are retarded.
I think most people are afraid that Oil Tax = they pay more for gas.
Being an environmentalist, the way I see it is.
Pay more for gas = less people driving = better for the environment.
Its frustrating to sit and watch society waste itself away. I suggest anyone who wants to understand my sentiment read the book “Collapse”.
Anyways, I am just hoping that in the end everything will just even out and we will all be ok.
