WASHINGTON (AP) - Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says he wants to consider taxing motorists based on how many miles they drive rather than how much gasoline they burn—an idea that has angered drivers in some states where it has been proposed.Can you imagine the hysterical liberal outcry if the dreaded Bush-Cheney regime had proposed tracking your every vehicular move with GPS? But it's OK since the Democrats are doing it...
The system would require all cars and trucks be equipped with global satellite positioning technology, a transponder, a clock and other equipment to record how many miles a vehicle was driven, whether it was driven on highways or secondary roads, and even whether it was driven during peak traffic periods or off-peak hours.
LaHood said he firmly opposes raising the federal gasoline tax in the current recession.Of course! Why raise taxes when creating new ones is so much more fun? Ray LaHood is living proof that an Illinois Republican is just a Democrat by another name.
Oops! Looks like the White House has already shot this one down. What are those inscrutable liberals up to? Hmmm...
Blogger buddy Chicago Ray thinks he has the answer. Being from crooked Chicago, home of the corrupt Democratic machine, he is a highly trained Democrat watcher. Check out his take here.
