A tax deduction paid for by the soccermom, who is already screwing herself at 10 miles to a gallon?

Remember, wasn't it California, who decided they needed to tax people by how many miles they traveled instead of how much gasoline they used because everyone was going to efficient vehicles?

There was another story last week in the south, a city had water rationing due to the drought, so the city had to raise water rates to recover the lost tax revenue from people using less water.

I think logically, we could talk this thing to death, taking turns at beating the dead horse from every side.

I think they should tax you more and give it to me, since you live in beautiful Florida, unlike Arkansas where we harvest our forests and pump oil so you guys can build huge houses to be destroyed by hurricanes and fly back and forth to New York twice a year. I'd vote for it, how about you?

See how easy it is to gain power by dividing people up into smaller groups?
