I'll let them have a 10 MPG SUV, but they have to pay a $5K annual tax to reflect the true cost to society (and that's probably a bargain). And the guy that buys the Prius?

So in typical lib fashion you put the penalty on the poor and elderly who either can't afford new cars or prefer the size for safety. Of course in your head it's people being piggish and they need to be taxed to conform. Perhaps we need to give vouchers and tax breaks to the poor.

What about the poor illegals that need to haul their lawn equipment to your house?

Just as we crammed safety standards down peoples throats... you do it for the good of society. And it works.

Are you going to tell Al Gore and RFK, Jr. they cannot use a private jet to flit around the country in?

Good luck. Those of us who are for freedom don't want our freedoms taken away leaving a ruling class of liberals who don't abide by the same rules. That's a far more important consideration, IMO, as it gets to our basic freedoms.
