i found this article about possible taxation of hybrid vehicles. i don’t think there are quite enough hybrids currently in use for that to generate a lot of money.
while i think everyone should pay their fair share for road upkeep, taxing a new technology would be a huge mistake. there have to be incentives for people who want to purchase those cars or nobody will ever buy them.
it’s like this: “hey, good citizen, you did the right thing by buying a fuel efficient car. you’re helping the environment and saving money. however, uncle sam is a little peeved. it seems that you are not paying enough at the pump, which is making matters difficult when we must repair all the roads that the suvs and hummers mess up. people love those big ass vehicles, and even though they buy a shitload of gas, it’s still not enough. we’re gonna have to go ahead and send you a bill for the difference. thank you so much. we applaud you.”
i’m inventing a car that runs on poop.
Thats complete bullshit. I hate the government so much.
I dont think Katos new car will discriminate. Man shit, dog shit, bull shit, its all the same when it comes to internal compostion.
