[RMS]

Get ready to pay more to play, the metro vancouver mayors’ council wants a mobility Tax. will we be forced to install tracking equipment on our cars? will such systems be used to police our driving? with tolls, carbon tax and mobility tax will you be able to commute and keep your home in the valley?

Is centralized do Gooder tax you to death socialistic utopia becoming a world epidemic? When are we getting flatulence meters installed on our butt holes so we all get taxed on that too. Our Nikes need a meter so they can tax us on walking too much too. Liberalism really is a mental disorder

Just my opinion and does not reflect the views of others......

Thanks, Matt. You just gave them an idea. Farts = methane = contributes to climate change = carbon tax.

Oh ya, they are going to tax us big time for this one.

I looked at Chevron 94 today, 1.69+/L. They will throw either a fuel tax on, or, some sort of GPS device. We will figure out how to fool that!

It cost me 108.00 to fill up the G35 this morning ( 28.3 M.P.G. )..CRAP.....The stupid oil price has gone up because of the Iraq insanity so on the lower mainland, they do the fuel grab here. I really am going to have to pop into the U.S. to tank up, I would save 25.00 a tank full right now.

I am with a very large crowd of people that are becoming very agitated by this type of encroachment. I am all for us doing what can be done to keep our waters and soils clean ( realistically ) but taxing individuals on everything........... Politically expedient environmental causes are total CRAP. This is another way for some cunt high up on the government food chain to get his/her bonuses and pay increase, and add 100 more pork belly government jobs. Not to mention monitor the peons so any type of unrest can be quietly squashed. Call me paranoid, a crazy conservative, a Tea Bagger.... I just don't give a crap..

If we buck and wine about things like this they say they have to cut Police positions, Firemen, or release prisoners from prison... Or they say we have to take away from our education programs for kids..... Its all crap...Manipulation..


Famous words "We are going to have a budget shortfall this year, so we need to increase taxes."

Example: Last years budget was $1,000,000,000 and we are asking for an additional $500,000,000 for this year. Since the voters said no we will have to cut programs (vital) because of the budget shortfall ( even though they are still working with $1,000,000,000) Some how not getting the $500,000,000 means they have to cut already funded jobs from the the $1 Billion? The $500,000,000 is a budget shortfall?

I have a feeling im on Oblamers NSA watch list

Again its just my opinion and not that of others.

So... what you're saying is that you really don't have an opinion one way or the other...

Totally

[datzenmike]

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet..... etc... etc...
