Q: Want to Beat Taxifornia's High Gas Prices?

A:  Take a job with the Federal Gubmint!

There are a couple of things we know for sure.

One, living in Taxifornia costs more.  Mucho more.  Our housing cost more, our food costs more, our electricity costs more, our clothing costs more and our gas costs more.  Our healthcare costs more, too.  And godddammit, our taxes cost more!    

More than any other state.  

And all the high-earners have up and moved as a result!  And taken their taxable income with them.  To any of the other 21 states without an income tax.  Leaving us poor taxpaying schlubs behind.  

For example, the recent average gas price here is $5.83 a gallon.  That's just about $2.00 per gallon more than the rest of our Nation.  

Did you know that 15% of our population pays 40% more for gas than the rest of our folks?  And the "Corporate Media" doesn't report it!  

Did you know that BoyGuv ("Hairgod") Newsom just hiked our gas taxes to $0.61.7 cents a gallon!  

Far higher than any other state?  Did you know that fully 17% of our cars are electric?  And that they pay no gas taxes?  While weighing so much (a ton more on average) they're destroying our roads?  Without contributing anything toward their maintenance?  

We pay more, so they can skate?

But there's a way to avoid Taxifornia's HIGH gas prices.  You can simply go to work for the Federal Gubmint!  

During a recent interview the Director of HHS casually mentioned that 40% of their office space is currently mothballed.  Empty.  Nobody home.  So the next logical question is, why?  And then he said, 31% of our Federal employees are still working from home!  Two years after the Chinese Wuhan Pandemic was visited upon us, and declared kaput, a third of our Federal employees are still working from home because of it!  

Can't you just see it?  In their 'jammies, watching Jerry Springer reruns, drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon, smoking legal weed they bought with SNAP coupons, and eating bon-bons.  Tapping a keystroke every now and again.  Just to make sure their Overlords know they haven't died.  

Soooooo, you can now avoid Taxifornia's high gas prices without having to move.  And you can earn a salary averaging $106,997 a year (Google it), and have a one-in-three chance of working from home!  In fact, they'll probably tell you, if you ask, if you could be among that exalted few!  And since your boss is probably working from home also, he'll certainly understand your request!  In fact, since I work from home every day now, I might just apply myself!

And if the Gubmint doesn't hire me, I'll sue, proclaiming that failure a Crime Against the Aged!

And since lawyers are thick as fleas here (more attorneys in Orange County, Taxifornia, than in all of Canada!), I can probably find one to file that suit on the cheap.    

I can see it all now.  $106k a year for doing the unnecessary, for the unimportant.  While in my boxer shorts.  Smoking dubies.  With the Star Spangled Banner playing softly in the background.  

Is America a Great Country, or what?
