The existing fuel tax just seems like a much more elegant solution.


is that the way they talk in Australia?

Most Americans don't use the word "elegant" with Taxes. :smirk:

We don't call it a tax at all :shrug: it's a levy.

Nevertheless, it's still a solution to the problem of getting road users to pay for the roads. Surely the people who use the most fuel also cause the most damage to the road. That's why it's a more elegant solution than charging based on distance.

Damn, I would have loved to have told you "I told you so" after I posted, when this thread had zero replies, that the transportation secretary only mentioned wanting to explore the idea and that Obama would be sure to reject the idea, but I didn't feel like logging in to post it at the time. :mad:

But yeah, told you so in my mind. :smirk:



:grin:


yeah Obama still wants to be re-elected in 2012.

CNSNews.com  "The Right News. Right now."

About Us


The Cybercast News Service was launched on June 16, 1998 as a news source for individuals, news organizations and broadcasters who put a higher premium on balance than spin and seek news that’s ignored or under-reported as a result of media bias by omission.

Study after study by the Media Research Center, the parent organization of CNSNews.com, clearly demonstrate a liberal bias in many news outlets – bias by commission and bias by omission – that results in a frequent double-standard in editorial decisions on what constitutes "news."

In response to these shortcomings, MRC Chairman L. Brent Bozell III founded CNSNews.com in an effort to provide an alternative news source that would cover stories that are subject to the bias of omission and report on other news subject to bias by commission.

CNSNews.com endeavors to fairly present all legitimate sides of a story and debunk popular, albeit incorrect, myths about cultural and policy issues.

CNSNews.com has a full staff of credentialed journalists at its world headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, staffs full time news bureaus in Jerusalem and the Pacific Rim, and works with credentialed correspondents in London, Paris, Moscow and Nairobi. In addition to news, CNSNews.com is proud to present a full slate of commentaries by some of the brightest minds and sharpest wits in the nation, and a full stable of cartoonists to provide you with a morning political chuckle.

CNSNews.com is a division of the Media Research Center, a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organization. Like National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System, CNSNews.com is able to provide its services and information to the public at no cost, thanks to the generous support of our thousands of donors and their tax-deductible contributions. However, unlike NPR or PBS, CNSNews.com does not accept any federal tax money for its operations.


My link still reported the facts correctly....
