"That's Jist Orful!"

Democrats (who are not known for thinking about the “unforeseen consequences” of their actions) have been crying for years about reducing gasoline usage in cars, and they've gotten what they asked for. Gas usage is WAY down, due to the use of smaller, less-gas-guzzling cars. Now they're crying about “reduced fuel tax revenues" and trying to find alternative ways to tax drivers, other than gasoline usage. Now they've come up with the idea to tax car owners on MILES traveled, as WELL as fuel used. That way, all the people who ANSWERED their pleas for reduced gasoline usage can still be taxed at at least the same rate, or more than before. I drive a gas-guzzling car (a Ford Taurus, 16 years old), but I only drive it one or two times a week, for mostly less than ten miles. They'll probably come up with a special category for people like me. (Twitchy)
