Big Problem: They are "at the table". If anyone else suggested this they'd be run out of town on a rail.

Obvioulsy, electic cars need to be made more affordable by making your perfectly good car unaffordable to drive.

I'd go along with that IF:

a) The cash for clunkers program was brought back, but this time limited to folks under an income cap
b) Folks were issued gas vouchers if they were not able to trade a clunker... (under the same cap)

Sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for ................

People are pissed off enough about the rise in gas prices. Another dollar are really going to put some folks in a very compromising condition. Gas, food or medicine.......

You have chew what you bite off...

"The tax would not be imposed directly on consumers but on producers, refiners and transporters. It would then be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. "

Yeah , Right.

Trust the OIL cos. to follow the guidelines.. HA! They'll screw us just like their doing NOW but even worse.

Ole MTA musta just bought a block of shares in Exxon.

Do you think for a minute if the government gleaned more money out of everyone, anything would change?

We'd all be poorer, the government just as wasteful and inept.

It is a complete bonehead idea.
