What do liberals think about the Massachusetts gps and tax mileage proposal?
thatguy2007 asked:
Do people think it is a good idea to tax mileage? Do people think it is a good idea for the gov’t to be able to monitor where you are driving? How much will it cost for the gov’t to install gps systems? Will that outweigh the cost of the mileage tax? Will the mileage tax also hurt the lower paid people that drive long distances for their jobs? Or will they be exempt?

As long as the men can marry the men, and the women can marry the women, they don’t care.

don’t agree with either. I drive in other states often and don’t think I should be taxed on that. In MA we have several people coming into the state to work that live in NH. But taxing mileage they continue to drive our roads for free.

Hey, I don’t agree. Either they lower gas greatly, or no taxing.
Or both. They don’t need the money.

Anything that will take money out of your pocket and put it into theirs, they are all for it.

Isn’t it Oregon the state that wants to implement that plan, or do they already, I don’t know, but this idea is atrocious. Libs refuse to see past the smoke and mirrors of “everything should be green” and “only wealth old white men are Republicans”. Hey Libs, try reading up on the ideals of the parties instead of relying on Mtv to tell you who to vote for.

The idea is okay, the way to implement it without infringing on personal privacy and liberty is unacceptable, what the hell is the problem with making gas taxes higher? Its the same revenue, but you don’t have to pay to put and maintain a bunch of transponders on cars, and who wouldn’t just disable it anyway, they don’t work wrapped in foil, or just run a magnet over it, this is really, really dumb, I guess it comes down to the fact that they need to lower government spending instead new ways of shearing the same sheep.
