Gas Tax

Dear Corrupt Raleigh Political Machine,

I wanted to let you know that every week you lose revenue to individuals like me who have the opportunity to stop in various cities along the North Carolina/South Carolina border and purchase gasoline. You see, your $.30 per gallon sales tax (according to a recent story in the Charlotte Observer) assisted in making the gas I purchased today $.55 cheaper per gallon in Fort Mill, SC. Therefore, I purchased gas for $2.04 per gallon while the gas station right beside my office on the North Carolina side of the NC/SC border is selling it for $2.59. It's simple economics....if consumers can buy the same thing for substantially less with in a reasonable distance then they will do it 9 out of 10 times. So, because of your high tax on gasoline you are losing revenues. Take note......we border South Carolina from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. Your greed is costing you money. Cheers!
