TSPLOST: Just Plain Silly

TSPLOST is a sales tax and one would like to think that would be it. Plain and simple. Tax on every sale. You buy something -- you pay the penny. But nothing created by the losers who cooked up this plan can be anything but cocked up.

While this sales tax does apply to milk, bread and aspirin, it does have at least one notable exemption. Gasoline!

So we have before us an initiative alleged to address all our traffic woes and the one group not asked to pay their fair share are drivers.

Folks, you simply cannot make this up. No sir, something this silly requires the unholy alliance of greedy developers and self-serving businesses whose hands are firmly wedged up the arses of sock puppet politicians.
