As we used to say objecting at a trial, to your line about their minds being sealed, "Objection. Assuming a fact not in evidence, that they have a mind."

Thanks for taking a look.  Hope the page is worthwhile!

Combined State, Federal and Local Taxes - Cents/Gallon - February 2014

A gasoline tax map that explains a lot
February 7, 2014 by Ken Cohen

In last week’s post about ExxonMobil’s 2013 earnings, I noted that we (ExxonMobil) earned about 5.5 cents for every gallon of gasoline and other petroleum products we refined, shipped, and sold in the United States.

Consider this: The federal and state and local governments collected 40 to 60 cents per gallon in taxes.

The American Petroleum Institute just updated their map showing the combined local, state and federal tax rate in each state as of Jan. 1, when new taxes took effect.

API US MapThe federal gasoline tax is the same from coast-to-coast –18.4 cents a gallon – which means any variations have been implemented by state and local governments.

The highest gasoline tax in the country is in California, where it now exceeds 70 cents a gallon. Combined with California-specific fuel-blending regulations that drive up refining costs, these taxes help make Golden State gasoline prices the most expensive in the country.

Several other states, such as New York, Connecticut, and Hawaii, are close to California in terms of the fuel-tax burden their residents bear, though none has yet joined in crossing the 70-cent-per-gallon threshold.

I encourage you to study API’s map, or dig into its interactive version for state-and-local-level specifics.

Five Absurd 'Equal Pay' Comments in Time for Bogus Holiday
By Julia A. Seymour | April 14, 2015 | 10:42 AM EDT

Editor’s Note: Story contains graphic content and links to explicit video. Cherry blossoms are blooming and as sure as a springtime rainstorm liberals are repeating false claims that women make significantly less than men do for the same work. Why? Discrimination, of course.

More at Link.  Good links imbedded in article.

Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGTUcS-yQtQ

Data used in report is from National Crime Victimization Survey using 2010 data:

Violent crime... white-on-black and black-on-white raw data:


Simple disparity of raw data:


However, there are general census/population differences:


Simple adjustment or normalization for population disparity:


And here it is normalized for the more severe Aggravated Assault:


Thank you Bill Whittle.
