Replying to: steve_ (Jul 02, 2009 1:13 pm) I am sure higher gas tax would lead to a big uptick in stealing gas. It went up with the price last year. Remember the trailers with big tanks parking over the tanks and sucking them dry.

Giving more money to those in Washington is like giving beer and keys to a teenager. What kind of sales presentation have we recieved where confiscating more of our income is good??? Is this not theft? Has anyone read the recent artilce where 31,587 Phd scientist's have just signed a petition stating that there is no global warming and over the last ten years the Earth is cooling? It appears to me that this issue is more about controling your property and your liberty. I have to say that this global warming nonsense is the most creative tax scam in my lifetime.

Trump says he would try to destroy OPEC. Then he would force the banks to loan. Trillions need to be loaned to bring the auto industry back to 11 million vehicle sales per year. All these college grads with no prospects. In some cases, only 1 out of 100 finalists is given an offer. Sounds like we need more taxes with so many new hires wearing out the roads driving to work.

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 01, 2009 5:29 pm) Would like to see Conan Obrien do his green flashlight skit on this. I hope that innovators/inventors of American ingenuity are already at work with designs to foil this nonsense. Some kind of device that will prevent monitoring of one's movements on the roads/highways. This present bunch of nut politicians in DC are probably very close to, if not already, trampling our Constitution and Bill of Rights with actual or pending legislation. Another scheme they have in mind to violate our privacy involves a national data base of every US citizens' "health" profile in the upcoming national health care plan. Also, under alread passed (House) Cap and Trade, there is a provision to require inspection by govt authority (Feds?) before a sale of your house to assure that it meets insulation effectiveness. If it doesn't, you can't sell your house until corrections are made. As has been said on this board many times before, the most sensible plan is to adjust the gas tax charged at the pump to adequately fund roads and bridges.
