My Governator may be able to kick your Governor's ass...
but he should oughta keep in mind that the people of Cahleefohrneeah can kick hisCalifornia's new Department of Motor Vehicles director Joan Borucki has said she favors placing tracking devices on vehicles and then taxing drivers for the miles they drive. She says that as more drivers buy cars that get better gas mileage, the state is taking in less money from its gas tax.
Joan, dear, the answer is
The Global Positioning System tracking devices would communicate with state computers via satellite, and downloaed information would then be used to calculate the tax bill.
This is where I invoke my 2nd Amendment rights. Back slowly away from my giant SUV, Joan.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said today that he didn't yet have a position on the mileage tax. "I know the idea that she is talking about, but I do not know exactly what it will do," Schwarzenegger said. "So I will stop and think it through before I make a decision."
Good thinking, Ahnold... Think hard. Governator's email
Y’know, if they REALLY wanna tax us for the miles we drive, all they have to do is check our odometer at the DMV when we renew our tags every year.
Sounds a hell of a lot cheaper (and less intrusive) than being freakin’ SPIED ON!!
BTW, I am NOT for this tax--we get taxed ENOUGH at the pump--we have the highest taxes in the country--ENOUGH WITH THE FRIGGIN’ TAXES.
