Let’s tax how much toilet paper one uses.



Great! That won't impact me!

They already do that, indirectly, by taxing gasoline. The more you drive, the more you pay.

Notice how they use the word “opportunities” in order to make it sound like a good thing.

I don’t want their meter in my damn car. GTHOOMC Obozo. I despise you.

Revolt best get going ASAP.

Meanwhile he has our attention on his fake OBL catch.

Not a bad idea (sarcasm continues following)...in fact, let’s take it a few steps farther. Let’s give votes to people based on the dollars they pay in federal income tax. No tax, no votes. Or, let’s also tax air flight mileage too, coast to coast travel would be far more expensive in total then say flying from Orlando to Atlanta...or how about we put a tax on abortions...a set dollar for every day from conception till the immoral deed is done....or how about a tax by the states upon the federal government per page in the Federal Register. I am sure many could find more.

This guy is insane! He will have this country in total poverty before 2012. There will be no saving it!

The gas prices alone are killing us, now he wants more taxes???

The ulterior motive? To kill suburbia, reverse the flow of populations away from the inner city, so that we can all live downtown and ride the gubmint trains.

So how do the “meters” go on your car? Do you take them in to some central location, or do they come to YOU?

Of course, Obama voters all take the bus ...this won’t affect them.

I don't see any upside to this.

Think how devastating this would be for Democrats, BHO, and some Republicans. There's always a silver lining.

Urban populations are dependent populations - just the way the left likes it.

DANGER: TAX TRIGGER AHEAD

By DICK MORRIS

Published on TheHill.com on May 4, 2011

Printer-Friendly Version


A diabolical plot is being hatched between Senate Democrats, the White House and three Republican accomplices -- Tom Coburn (Okla.), Mike Crapo (Idaho) and Saxby Chambliss (Ga.). The concept is to enact an amendment to the debt-limit extension specifying certain targets for deficit reduction and then mandating automatic spending cuts AND tax increases to take effect if the goals are not met.

This formula permits backdoor tax increases on which nobody votes and no fingerprints appear. The taxes just happen automatically -- the immaculate conception tax increase. The plan will vindicate Obama's long-term goal: to expand the size of the government's share of the economy.

Psst, Chairman O, there already is a mileage tax - it’s called the gasoline tax!

You give them pictures with explanations and all they do is color the pictures, dismiss any words with more than one syllable, and complain about how many trees you killed! And, to think, they’re voters!!!
