if they will tax trucks too, then get ready for major inflation on consumer goods and food.
 Quoting: Secretizer


In vermont they tax commercial trucks with diesel engines. When you enter the state you have to keep tabs on the miles. Then once a month report it to Vermont and pay your taxes.

Poor people suck. Have you noticed how most of them have a chip on their shoulder and get very jealous when you mention your success? I have family members who are poor, and they are eaten up with class envy. I don't like spending time with them.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79402383


you think thatll stop them?!? theyll guess and then charge it to you. accuracy isnt something theyre good at, we all know that.

but if it requires an elaborate and expensive plan to make it happen, theyre down. they have no problem spending your dollar to get an extra dime off of you the next go round.

How will they track you?

Miles on car? Pull fuse on speedometer or unhook speed cable
GPS? I may have a very small device that plugs into a car lighter socket that will jam all current GPS signals in a 10 meter radius.

Progressive has a "program" where you plug a thing into your car so they can keep track of your driving and then give you a discount....It wouldn't be hard to implement something similar.

This is an awful idea. Many people have to drive long distances for a job, nothing close by and no bus/train services; so let's penalize them since our government shipped all the local jobs overseas.

not only debt, unfair lopsided taxation

when a few cents an hour raise can put you in to the next bracket means you take home less than what you were making before the raise

it was a 25cents / hour raise

after that, my pay was several dollars less net than I was making before the raise
