"I say tax any passenger car that gets less than, say, 18 miles a gallon $4k a year"

That's a great idea! It would add even more status to he Hemi-Hummer morons. They could say, "I'm wealthy enough to drive this cartoon vehicle!"

RW, how about we tax all fat people and use that to encourage people who go walking every day, courtesy of the Ministry of Walking?

Before too many years we would improve the overall health of the average American citizen, reduce health care costs ... and THAT would stimulate the economy.

Taxing isn't enough. Call out the national guard and machine gun SUV's. Death to the pigs.
