its the beginning to the end...

just like Chris said. Get a speeding ticket for going over. Or they will just make cars that physically CANT speed in a certain area based on GPS. Your on a 25MPH road.... well, whoppie... you can only do 25. The mileage tax is ok... however.... they should then abbolish gas tax. But nope, wont do that.... its giving them extra pocket change. Fix the roads my ass. I've sent in 14 letters to date about a pot hole on a side street my friend lives on. Its about a 50 dollar fix with tar. Its been 4 years and nope... no fix. Its sad, just sad. And we vote this stuff on ourself. GET OUT AND VOTE PEOPLE. Otherwise your country voters (elderly people who dont drive) will be making YOUR car laws. This is what I stand for. No governement interference. No governement ties to anything EXCEPT war and foreign affairs. Read "1984." Our country is becoming exactly like this book. GPS in cars or should I say "Big Brother is watching you."

i gave speech last semester on why you should get out and vote. voting rocks.

If this tax is put into place, then there is no incentive to buying a fuel efficent or hybrid car. If there is no incentive, then car makers will stop making them. And thats opposite of the move that we are trying to make.

Plus, cities already have this in a less tech way. They are called FREE WAY TOLLS!!! Why not just place toll booths on the freeways, and thus tax people when they use it. Lots of states have tolls, and it helps pay for both the construction of the freeway and upkeep. No need for privacy issues and the big brother into all this.

If anything... the govenment should tax those sh!t heads who cruise around solo in SUVs and Trucks. Those suckers are the ones that hurt us... the hybrids are what can balance it out.

soccer moms driving lifted excursions with only one or two kids in the car at the most, but usually just bags of food.

"Bush recently attacked Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.), his Democratic opponent, for once favoring a 50-cent-per- gallon increase.

The Kerry campaign responded that while the senator did mention such a potential increase in a 1994 newspaper article that also discussed possible tax cuts, he never voted for it.

At the state level, however, there has been considerable bipartisan support for changes. "

It was a 50 cent increase, in 1994, when gas prices where LOW.

"At a rally in Appleton, Wis., on March 30(2004), President Bush came down hard on Democrats for supporting an increase in the 18.4- cent-a-gallon federal gasoline tax, which finances highway building, mass-transit projects and safety programs."
Sorry he wanted to fund things with real money instead of a deficit.

i hate you people who think you know EVERYTHING about politics. this is bigger than john kerry. you should thank your war in iraq because it saves you a dollar plus a gallon. once the oil is sold in euros your not going to be happy. hussein was trying to see this process get done.

"land of the free because of the brave"

buy the car for the car, and take out onstar and replace with something else.

If the war in Iraq only saves me a dollar plus a gallon they should just take the money they spend on the war in Iraq and give me free gas. I don’t know everything, but I do a ridiculous statement when its made.

"Seeing tax dollars dwindling, neighboring Oregon has already started road testing the idea. "

ok you can save a million dollars or more if you jsut cut the excessive amount of money state workers (most) and officials get for their mediocre jobs. That's just one way I've thought of in two minutes...

Not to mention we're taxed on everything having to do with cars already, damn. Buy it and get taxed, register and get taxed, etc.

I'm glad I kept my mountain bike around, knowing the government they'll tax people for riding bikes also..

you guys have the Terminator as your governer...that's so sad...but i guess it's not as sad as jesse ventura getting into office...

i will second that, he was HORRIBLE... out state's budget went to sh*t like that...

yeah, quite honestly, he's not doing that bad in office, the state's getting back on track,

and he is a smart guy- my dad (masters) attended a dinner and managed to speak to him for a little bit, and came away very impressed.

but then, actors politicians are supposed to leave that impression.

well friends it really warms my heart when i get to see ppl my age getting pissed off/paranoid what ever @ the government.... i hope that one day a generation will break free of the 'be a good little citizen and obey' policies that we've all been indoctrinated with since primary school (which are govt. funded) i mean why do you think you always hear politicians screaming about funding for education? which is about 71.5 billion a year but ranked 18th in the worlds educational standings.. thats my f*cking hard f#cking work energy money thats going towards all this sh^t and its more than just every last one of our wallets thats taking hits we are allowing ourselves to become subjegated a little more every freakin day... we need some way to force our "representatives" to be held accountable for the actions that they take....but everyone is so apathetic mainly because of the indoctrination of certain 'values, materialism, "entertainment," conformity, all for the sake of profit....money power , its the nature of capitalism... im no communist or nothing but i will not stand to be some f$cking cog in a machine obeying every lever my oppresive master engages..........

...whew....sorry for ranting but f)ck......

Sooner or later Bruce willis will be president, yippie ky aye mother fuc ker
