you don't have a clue, do you?
No he doesn't. More like fvcking government gas taxes! 40-60 cents per gallon. Think about it. If tomorrow everyone switched to hydrogen fuel (or whatever), boom! Government loses BIG TIME on revenue. What do you honestly think their solution would be? You got it! Tax the hell out of hydrogen or whatever fuel people are using. You think you are going to get away from paying high fuel costs when government has its hands in on it? Dream on...
Dont forget the talk about also starting to tax every mile you drive soon too. That is total bs. you have to pay the tax on fuel and then they want to tax every mile you drive as well. I say we start over with a tottaly new set of government
Yea this just proves government just can't keep its hands off our money. One way or another they will slap you down with a tax on this or a tax on that. Funny thing is I saw an interview with one of these Oregon wackos defending this idea. He said this wasn't a tax its a FEE! Oh right, as opposed to a TAX. Duh, same thing. Fee, Tax. Tax, Fee. It amounts to the same thing - taking my money.
A fee HA. lets talk about tolls too while were at it also. they were set in place like TAXES that at the time was to pay off some bill we (USA) owed and then once it was paid it was spposed to go away. HAHAHA that never happened and in IL they just rasied the tolls 50%! Unless you get the toll tracker in your car then you pay the old rate. Your damed if you get it and damned if you dont because now they are sending tickets toyou in the mail if you have the tracker and you make it from one toll to the next to soon.
OH and lets not forget the information they are collecting from you so they can tell where people go durring hollidays and such they can sell to 2nd party companies. It is really starting to get rediculus. Land of the free my big wide hairy a$$!
Oh as far as when are they going to tax on tax. They are. taxed when you get your pay check, taxed again when ever you buy anything no matter what it is food, car, GAS, property, etc. And then if it isnt enough at the end of the year they check to see if they havent taken enough tax from you and if not they dip in your pocket more

I really dont have a problem with this if my tax money went for real stuff. Like not paying so much for crap. I read the government pays like $50 for a $5 hammer. Get the head guys out from buying usless crap or high wages. They bitch they dont have high enough wages but they make millions on the side with stock (which when you run the country have controll on what stock is going to do so you have the inside on what to purchase or drop), WAR, stuff like this. If it was all cut out we would be the richest country again, we have paid for health insurance, social security wouldnt be going down hill, TAXES would be lower allowing us to buy more stuff and put back into the ecconomy.
