There is already a gas guzzler tax: go check out any car with a v-12 engine. IE Mercedes-Benz s600. It's about $4K. Don't forget that V8's in sedans get almost as bad gas milage as SUVs, but you only seem to attack the SUVs. Something against them, or is it that you can't afford one? As for the gas, sure let's try to control the markets. Guess what, it doesn't work. I am sure you noticed that the congress already tried to raise CAF� standards this year and it didn't pass. >positives: tax rebates on highly fuel efficient vehicles, both on purchase >and gas etc.; do the same for low polluting vehicles; Also do the same for >manufacturers, give tax incentives for going beyond the current pollution >standards. Give research incentives for developing alternative energy >approaches. Several of these already exist. Including tax incentives. No matter who much of a tax break you give me I ain't gonna drive a tin can. Even if I have to pay 2 a gallon, which I have, a few summers back. I will still drive my SUV. ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
