Stupid question, I know, but why don't they just raise the gas tax?

This will cost millions (if not more) to implement. Compliance will have to be enforced, lawsuits will have to be defended. Older cars will have to be retrofitted with the devices --and you can bet that folks who can barely afford to put tires on their "hoopty" are going to scream pretty loud at the cost of installing a GPS tracking device.

What a harebrained scheme. It won't go anywhere. Then again. . .

Because the next step of socialism requires implementing identification and tracking features on the masses of asses. We will only start with tracking their vehicles, then we will move to tracking.....
