Reply #11: The idiot Dems have managed to find the ONE WAY to shoot themselves in the foot

[tularetom]

This is by far the dumbest idea any legislator could propose and they are embracing it. It not only replaces the fairest tax we have but it introduces an element of big brotherism into the mix. Just yesterday I was thinking that the Democratic party was so much on the correct side of every issue that the repubs were doomed to minority status for a generation, but the Dems have found a way to help them back into control.

If it passes not only is it the kiss of death for the Democratic party, it may be the end of civil society in this country. I'm talking open and widespread defiance of the law, as well as a huge market for after market devices designed to bypass the or fool the GPS.

Wouldn't it just be simpler to index the gas tax to the CPI or some other accepted economic indicator?

A lot of people will turn on the Democrats over this and I'm one of them. This is just fucking stupid.
