SEC=UGA Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 So instead of being angry that another tax increase is being kicked around - most of you are coming up with more 'logical' tax increases You should all be angry over this, not trying to come up with other tax ideas Nice work you obedient robots Pissing contest in 3... 2... 1...

Brentastic Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Some of us think that potentially it might REPLACE other taxes, not add to them. Nice work, Pavlov's dog. Sure, keep thinking that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm glad to see that you have come around from where you used to be hmm, I did raise good points back then. just plain taxing per mile WOULD be stupid. taxing for use with different rates for high-traffic versus low-traffic times and areas, heavy and light vehicles, and so on could in theory be close to optimal. and gas tax as a de facto use tax will in fact become less effective as alternate fuel vehicles grow in popularity. BUT, at this point, it does seem that just raising gas taxes would be the simpler, better way of taxing driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one reason for a tax...to spend more money. Even if it replaced a tax, the only way that would happen was that if they garnered more revenue with the new tax.

We're taxed enough. Dont even tell me there should be another tax on gas, cars, or anything else. Its horse SHAM WOW! that we get hit the way we do already. Unless you think the economy is in good shape. Which some of you probably DO think that. The system is broken. Taxing us more isnt gonna fix it. The only thing that will is the big bad wolf when he huffs and puffs and blows the whole thing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Jack Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 THEY ALREADY DO IT FROM THE GAS END...GEEZ...HOW MUCH MORE DO THEY NEED....STOP EFFING SPENDING MORE MONEY THAN YOU HAVE INSTEAD OF LAYING AWAKE AT NIGHT THINKING OF MORE WAYS TO TAKE INCOME Hey shouty. Perhaps I miscommunicated. I am not saying they should or they shouldn't but if they need to pick up the revenue, I just think that taxing gas is a better idea. It seems a lot easy and a lot cheaper to manage. Take an aromatheropy bubble bath or something sport. You need to relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid. Put these words Upon his tomb, Taxes drove me to my doom...' When he's gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply The inheritance tax.
