My hat is off to the North Carolina State Legislature. This is an amazing piece of legislation:
Instantly "we will never charge you more" becomes "we will never charge you less." Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Whoo Hoo! I am not a North Carolina resident, but this sort of lawmaking exemplifies my disdain for all things instituted by governments. What was the validity of a legislated tax cap, if it can be simply renamed a tax floor later on down the road?
What a disgrace.
The change would turn a cap on the gasoline tax at 29.9 cents per gallon into a floor - meaning it could go no lower than 29.9 cents through the middle of 2011.Presto Chango!
