Pennsylvania already had the highest state taxes on gasoline, and just added another 8 cents per gallon effective January first. The state sales tax of 6% isn't enough to cover what the Democrats in Philly want to spend so they created an extra city sales tax, which was one percent at first, now at 2%, making an 8% total sales tax. But those taxes pale in comparison to the stupidity and greed of the outrageous new city beverage tax.
