Notice vehicle weight isn't part of the equation even though a full truck does as much damage as over 9,000 passenger cars. They're going to have you subsidize shipping companies.

Big polluters: One massive container ship equals 50 million cars.

That was my same argument against banning two stroke recreational vehicles in the early 00s; one round trip of one of those ships causes more pollution than every two stroke dirtbike in history, combined.

I still fell in love with my '03 CRF450, but it was the principle.

Well shoot, thanks for that. Time to save that one to mention to my tree-hugging acquaintances.

I actually thought that ships were "clean" in terms of overall pollution. Must be the PR they put out, as shippers and the raillines are always hawking how much more efficient they are than trucks. Whoops.

Let's imagine they put a 9000x tax on container trucks per mile. Who do you think would pay that tax?

A. Some longnose oligarch

B. You, every time you buy something shipped in a truck

You can tell just by flipping a coin.

Heads: You pay it.

Tails: You pay it.

It wouldn't hurt to assume that they would catch the coin before it hits the ground. In that case: You pay it, and you're down a shekel.

Guess what? We're already paying it. The roads are being maintained (sort of), right? That money is already being paid by us. The only question is who should pay. Arguing that people who don't use a service should pay for that service so it will be cheaper for the people who do use it is pure, unadulterated communism. It also prevents the free market from working. Goods shipped by truck need to have the cost of shipping by truck built in so the market can allocate shipping more efficiently.

That's fair. But these vehicle taxes aren't being used to maintain the roads, they're being earmarked for "green industries."

What a surprise! A CIA spook has a problem, and his solution is to track every single car. How about tariffs? Let support more domestic manufacturing.

I want a 100% tax on income of elected officials.

Pilot programs allow participants to report their odometer readings electronically or in person

Oh, look at that, I didn't drive at all last year,

This is an overly complicated intrusive program that amounts to collecting about $5 per car per year. It's going to cost more to implement than it would collect in the first few years. Plus, it de-incentivizes electric cars, which they seem to love so much.

It's just stupid on so many levels.

I'll solve it - stop only awarding contracts to hand-picked union companies. Put projects up to a public bid (no points for minority-owned businesses either). It would save so much money.

This has been coming for years. Every new electric car on the road is costing them money in fuel taxes. I expect my state to roll it out in the next couple years.

He's just a fag. You can always ignore him and then tell people "...says a fag". They'd leave you alone and won't enforce anything he says. Nobody is interested, able, or willing to enforce anything fags say.

Godspeed.

It's taken them all no time at all to become the typical banana republic dictators, driving through the hungry hordes in their gold Rolls Royce. They need a few niggers to run in front and sweep their path, to show how not racist they are.

That sounds rad, I'd do the same thing if I was in the position to.

Listen to some of E Michael Jones' rants about Mayor Pete. The guy is a disaster.

You could literally cut any government funded, pork barrel program, bullshit, to fund these projects. Why not cut housing vouchers for welfare rats? Why not cut food stamp programs to people who can work part time, but choose not to do it? How about not sending money to other countries like Pakistan to fund "gender education programs?"

But that doesn't make sense, cause most women and (faggot democrats) don't understand economics. (I don't consider male democrats real men). They just want to spend, spend, spend. I wish this would all end, I don't understand when enough is enough? I suppose people have to have all their luxuries taken away from them if we are to get change. A warm house, a running car, and food on the table is pretty much all it takes.

In the Turner Diaries, the protagonists took all of that stuff away to wake up the populous. Maybe that is what needs to be done?

Why not stop foreign aid until America is fixed and becomes the world leader it says it is?

I don't disagree with that either. But how is it supposed to happen when the government is (probably completely), controlled by ZOG? I just don't see a way out of this besides what everyone knows HAS to be done. I can say it without actually saying it.

I train at the gym 3-4 days a week. Go into the mountains and plink. I am also stocking up on food. It's not a matter of 'if,' something is gonna happen, it's a matter of 'when.'
