Barack Obama's Plan To Tax Americans For The Number Of Miles That They Drive Is Part Of The Radical Green Agenda Being Shoved Down The Throats Of
Do you know what a trial balloon is? It is when politicians will float an idea in the media to see what the reaction of the public will be. Well, right now one trial balloon that is being floated is the idea that we should tax Americans for the number of miles that they drive. This proposal showed up in a draft bill that was being circulated within the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget. You can view a copy of this draft bill here. Of course the Obama administration is denying that this proposal will be in the final draft of the legislation. The Obama administration is stressing that this was just "a draft" of the bill. But this is what happens very often with trial balloons. They are put out there and the politicians will say things like "this is being studied" or "this isn't a serious proposal yet" and then one day we all wake up and it is suddenly being implemented. The fact that there is even draft legislation that would tax Americans based on the number of miles that they drive should be incredibly sobering for all of us. If the global warming alarmists have their way, there are going to be lots of these kinds of taxes in our future.

The following is how an article posted on The Hill describes some of the specifics of this proposal....

This is radical, but the green "agenda" is very sensible, since we're all dying of cancer (just wait) from hydrocarbons, fracking and radiation. Not to mention fish, which most of us used to eat. This isn't the right idea, though.

The so called cure may be worse those green light bulbs cause cancer not to mention what this crap does to our economy.

I think there are alternative fuels on the horizon that will markedly decrease the amount of hydrocarbon fuel we need to use. That would vastly decrease the amount of taxes from motor vehicle travel. Soooo... the need to change the tax to the amount of miles travelled... not the amount of fuel used.

The interesting thing is that this will serve as a DISINCENTIVE to develop these alternative energies; but the Obamabots still think he is enviromentally friendly.
He is friendly to big biz and big gov.. plain and simple.

I am for it if we can tweak one thing then "beta" test it.

First I would include not only driving but also flying. Then I say test it on all government officials first then all corporations. Would like to see the presidents "tax" bill for flying around the whole world.

Once they are happy with it release it upon the country and citizens.
