Mileage Tax

What the hell????? This is absolutely ridiculous!!!!! Why am I a conservative and believe in it… it’s because NC is a liberal state government that just keeps squeezing, and squeezing every penny they can get from everyone. Our awesome government now wants to impose a mileage tax on all NC residence.

Some of the articles I have read are talking about with the introduction of electric cars no one will be going to the pump and buying gas. First…nothing like implementing a tax before something even happens. Second…with Obama’s energy policy I have no idea how we are going to have enough electricity in the US to plug in these cars and recharge them. California…sorry but you think rolling black out are bad now wait until everyone has to plug in a car. Third…funny how the government talks about we need to punish gas companies when gas prices and profits are high. They make the gas companies sound like the most evil thing in the world and should all die. But, when the gas prices fall (due to supply and demand) the state now basically say’s they need more money because of loss revenue. When do we the citizens every win? The government just takes, takes, and keeps taking. I have an idea for our state officials…HOW ABOUT YOU STOP SPENDING LIKE A BUNCH OF DIPSHI*S!!!!

Question – If this passes where will the line be drawn? If this passes we will be taxed on the miles we drive… period. There are no state lines with this tax. I could drive to California and back and NC is going to capitalize on all the tax revenue, and I’ll be paying gas taxes in other states as I drive through. If they want us to go back into the late 1800 and use horses to get around just say it.

I’m telling you all now, if this thing passes this will be a feeding frenzy for the state government. They will open the flood gates and incorporate GPS system on our cars to track everything. Maybe they could tax the air I breathe in NC? If we don’t go electric you know they are not going to drop the gas tax per gallon.

Who keeps voting this type of thinking into our government? I think NC is probably one of the most corrupt state governments in the US. Some many politicians have been convicted based on corruption.

Wake up people…our government is too big and they are just holding us all back from becoming something great. Why do some many people think a politician know all aspects of business more then a person who runs a business? I just don’t get it.

I suppose this is on top of the cost to renew our tags and our lovely tax we pay annually on each vehicle, right? Oh yeah, and our inspection costs. Nice. Sounds like a lot of people will be taking up illegal residence in other states and/or rolling back those odometers. The government isn't bright enough to implement the GPS idea, so don't give that one a second thought. This is bullshit though.

I hate to say it but there are 300 cars in NC with the GPS system installed and being tested as we speak. The government is pretty smart when it comes to taking money, but not smart at how to run a profitable business. But then again, why do they need to run anything profitable when they are so good at stealing from us.

I doubt they work. I'm a programmer, nothing ever works, especially when the government is involved.

On a happier note, well, maybe happier, here are the photos from our party. Just try not to think about Jaegermeister and you should be OK.
