Politicians playing political games with your tax dollars

You can't even make this shit up.

Whitmer calls for freeze on 6% gasoline sales tax

Whitmer: How DARE you want to freeze the 27.2 cents per gallon gas tax!!!!
Also Whitmer: Oh boy do I need a win! Hey how about we eliminate the 6% sales tax on gas?

Honestly I didn't even know states had both a sales tax AND a flat per gallon tax on gas. That's cray cray.

So in Michigan if you combine the state per gallon tax, the federal per gallon tax, AND 6% sales tax then that means if you gas is 4 dollars per gallon that almost 70 cents/17.5% of that is just tax.
