What a crock of poo - Michigan wants an Odometer Tax

[Doc Tinker]

The State of Michigan Law Makers are working on legislation that would tax mileage at the rate of 2¢ per mile.

Time for me to start looking at property in Indiana.

politicians are making way to much money. their self appointed raises have them making so much that they like to increase taxes. ON ANYTHING. I bet within the next ten year we will have a tax based on the number of time we flush our toilets

Wonder if the knucklehead who thought that idea up is from California. Just so you all know, every once in a while we grab one of these screwed up politicians from Sacramento and load him into a big cannon, point it east and fire!! Looks like one landed in Michigan! Whoever cracks the next joke about California will get the next one #ad


You all have been warned!!! #ad

I always figured thats why there is tax on fuel. The more you drive the more fuel you buy. I suppose to many fuel efficent cars out there now that the state does not get enough taxes from fuel. Ya know If that law come too. I will never buys a used vehicle from Michigan. You can count on odometer roll backs. Or people disconnecting there speedo cable.

Ram4Sam, next time that you load up yer cannon with one of them thar polyticians, point that thing west and blow tha varmit half way to Hawaii. . LOL!!!

 

[Koa Man]

Hook up your reversible elec drill to your speedo cable and run it. Never ceases to amaze me the different ways politicians think up to tax us.

 

[illflem]

Sounds like the Michigan tax men have got us figured out though,they were planning on using GPS to track your mileage,wouldn't even matter if you drove the entire year in reverse they would still get you. Although it may be even easier to trick the GPS,just place some aluminum foil over the unit to block the satellite signal. Luckily it doesn't sound like it will go though.

Doc,
Find out what moron sponsored this bill, and run against him!
From the state that invented the dern car for cryin outloud!

 

[Sled Puller]

Just read it. If any of those simple minded buffoons think they would drop the gas tax and use this instead, we are in for it!

Once the Gov gets a tax, they don't give it up. They tax both and laugh all the way to the bank, their Swiss banks.

Let's count the number of times we pay taxes for the right to drive on the highways. License plates. Fuel tax"more if you own a diesel". Toll roads"no credit on fuel tax for miles driven". That's 3 I can think of.
I heard another Rep. wants to put a 5cent tax on every E-mail.

Doc bring yourself on down here, Indiana is a good state to live in. Lots of diesels

If the GPS is in the vehicle, then as the new vehicles are transported to dealerships, the tax would unfairly go to the car hauler. Bummer. And, when you have passengers in a car with a GPS the passengers are not being properly taxed compared to the vehicle with a lone driver.
So, I agree with the "displacement tax" provided the GPS units are surgically installed in people rather than vehicles.
Mileage tax is for people, not vehicles, Right? #ad

Papa Joe,good idea!!! Having GPSs installed on each person would be great for people
trying to "find their self".

We'd also know where all the "Kanned" Kaili-forications Politit-cans were "shot" to (HEHEHEHE) and then could keep track of them. Ram4Sam would REALLY like to keep track of them, so if they get back to the "left" state he reload them for another ride #ad

Ben, it's a one way only ride for them. We got so many of them that there is no need to reuse them. Hmmm, looking at a map, I see New Mexico is due east. We'll send a fresh one tomorrow. #ad

Ram & willy, we'll take em... no concealed weapons law yet BUT we can carry in the open.....

Of course they have to eat spotted owls and cut trees to keep warm (put them up in the mountians). If you need a specific target, will send seperate co-ordinates for the landing :b! As an after thought, let me know so they dont get in the way of the balloons (prefer late afternoon - no time for them to prepare for the nite).

SOTSU!!
