Taxing your way to prosperity and regulating your way to freedom is a fallicy in logic.

There's a practical consideration as well, Martin said: interstate locomotives could simply refuel beyond state boundaries.

Um, gee, truckers have been filling up in Portland, Vancouver (WA) and Boise, and even Butte. Just so's they can dip in/out of CA without paying CA prices/taxes.

There are other ways they get you - miles run in state is one... but people get around that too.

I've gotten to the point where I admire their attempts... for whatever that's worth...

Wait until they figure out that a large percentage of
such are owned by the state (CalTrain passenger diesel
locos). Suddenly it won't be so urgent.
