Darkbeer is swanky
Much of government's rules regarding taxes is "social engineering"... Why are some things, such as mortgage interest tax deductible? To promote building houses... Why are Capital Gains taxes lower, to promote investment in the economy, and even further, the longer you hold onto the investment, the lower the tax. Have children, we want new citizens to help pay future taxes, so tax breaks for those folks. Newer tax breaks, deductions and credits for education, as the government want smarter workers, since the "basic labor" jobs are going oversees...

Same with the gasoline tax... Buy a car that pollutes less, uses less natural resources (aka gasoline), pay less in taxes.... This new proposal just cancels all the effort placed to get folks to use public transit and smaller cars, plus things like hybrids....

Just plain DUMB!!!!!
