Questions regarding vehicles that use internal combustion.....
Advertisements [?]
...has any elected official been looney enough (in other words come to a sad realization and tried to insert a little responsibility into the discourse) to suggest a special yearly tax for those individuals and families who "must" have more than two vehicles that use internal combustion (i.e. the two gas hog SUVs, the RV, the teen vehicle or two or three, the ATV, the dirt bike, the three personal water craft and the rarely used boat)? Could a yearly tax like this (exponential as one acquires more things that need to go intake, compression, power and exhaust) change purchasing behaviors, reduce dependence on foreign oil, and cut back on carbon emissions?

Or have I just lost my mind?
