My favorite part: “The report also says fuel taxes increasingly will become a less reliable way to pay for highway construction as people drive more fuel efficient vehicles and the number of electric and alternative fuel cars and trucks grows.”

Tax the gas.
Tax the miles.
Pay a toll.
Tax on the car I bought.
Tax on the maintenance for it.
Tax when I sell it.

Drive my car to work everyday so I can earn a living - after tax of course!

I’ll just add a few:

Driver’s license is a tax.

License plate is a tax.

Toll roads are taxes.

I just woke up I am sure there are more in addition to those we both mentioned.

They should stop then stop complaining about SUV’s. It costs more to gas them up, therefore more tax revenue. Anyone else see the hypocracy of this.

The Taxman

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 percent
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 drive to city,
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.

Taxman!

'Cause I'm the taxman.
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

Don't ask me what I want it for,
(Uh-uh, Mr. Wilson.)
If you don't want to pay some more.
(Uh-uh, Mr. Heath.)

'Cause I'm the taxman.
Yeah, I'm the taxman.

And my advice to
Those who die.
(Taxman!)
Declare the pennies
On your eyes.
(Taxman!)

'Cause I'm the taxman.
Yeah, I'm the taxman,
And you're working for no one but me.
(Taxman!)
