[a fool in paradise]

Establishes the technological groundwork for taxing you MORE per mile driven!

I already pay by the mile via gasoline taxes and a tollroad that was initially promised to collect tolls for only 20 years (deadline came and went, current county judge over that resource says "I didn't make that promise, that was someone else besides" yadda yadda yadda. They keep "refinancing" it (borrowing money against it to siphon off dollars for other projects).

But what about Those Less Fortunate whose cars don't get as good mileage as yours? That's unfair! Much better to surveille your every movement and tax you accordingly, with adjustments for exceeding your allowed carbon footprint, of course. It's for your own good, don't y'know. And the children... won't someone please think of the children?
