California Gov. Jerry Brown (D.) on Sunday blamed rural Californians for not wanting higher taxes to help fight climate change.

Chuck Todd, host of MSNBC’s "Meet the Press," asked about how California’s new gas tax hurts rural residents who need cars because they don’t have access to public transportation. He cited an article from CityLab, which said the gas tax "punishes people for not having access to transit options," but Brown bowled right over Todd’s research and blamed rural Californians for not being on board with his agenda.

"You won your gas tax fight, but rural Californians didn’t like it," Todd said.

Lunatic. A few days ago the guy who offered illegal aliens drivers licenses and signed motor voter into law was complaining about the state GOP not being popular enough to maintain a healthy political balance in the state.

We'll see how the gas tax survives when more people see through the bullshit moonbeam and his lackey used in the last election, also when moonbeam lite takes over and really pushes the queer, illegal and anti prop 13 agenda with less of a tax base as they continue to drive industry and wealth out of the state.

Except, that Gavin Nuisance won't care, not a single fig.

He'll have raked his percentage off and be living like a pig in ####.

Typical urban jerkoff politician. Little Napolean doesn't like it when the deplorable blocks of his constituents remind him that they're getting the shaft for his little quixotic ventures.

"Well, too bad, because there's not enough of you to change things.

But don't worry, once we invent this technology that doesn't exist and may never exist, you'll thank us!"
