Everyone has to pay their fair share. Nothing wrong with that.

ETA: $3.16 per month.

Wow, can you imagine the outcry on that one.

I would not put anything past Politicians, they make snake oil salesperson look like honest outstanding citizens.

I agree. Since all other energy sources and hardware are already being taxed I suspect that this is nothing but another attempt at "Christy" bashing. Why was it not being taxed before ??


Donald.....for cripes sakes, this tax makes as much sense as taxing you 38 bucks a yr for having a bloody gas tank in your car!!!
What's next? The vessels that hold my coffee and the milk jugs for the kids?
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

Still not doing bad. I don't have a large propane tank, no kids at home and don't drink coffee. Sadly I do have a number of gas tanks and a couple of gas cans so I could be in danger.

EDIT TO ADD:

I do agree this is a 100% stupid tax. Most of the people with those tanks have them for a very good reason. There is nothing else available.
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have of changing others.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way.
