Jim Dey: Judge: Gas-tax gimmick not political speech because it’s ‘purely factual’

"On its face, ( U.S. Judge Sue) Myerscough found, the sign language is a straightforward fact, the goal of which is 'to inform consumers' of the tax delay 'and prevent gas retailers' from 'deceiving consumers by increasing gas prices by the non-imposed but previously scheduled' tax increase. So let the word go forth that if motorists buy 20 gallons of gasoline at $5 a gallon, their costs, theoretically, will be reduced by 2.4 cents per gallon (28 cents). Instead of paying $100 for the fill-up, it’ll only be $99.72."

Not surprise that a fake Obama judge would crap all over the 1st Amendment to enforce the Democrat Party Line

Another way to confirm that those evil gas station owners aren’t bilking the public would be to provide itemized receipts showing the taxes that consumers are paying on a fill-up.

The stupid July 1st signage is another insult to the intelligence of consumers.
