Members of the House will soon vote on the Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 2010, which is essentially the response by the House Democratic leadership to the Toyota sudden acceleration scandal.
The measure includes a $9 per car tax to fund a lengthy list of actions to be taken by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to make sure your car doesn't suddenly accelerate without your permision in the future. The tax will be disguised as a "Vehicle Safety Fund" fee to be collected by the manufacturers.
That means it will be actually be collected as part of the sales price at the time of purchase by the dealer, then passed on to the manufacturer which will then ship it to the U.S. Treasury on a quaterly basis, thus illustrating that there is really no such thing as a tax on corporations because corporations simply function as tax collectors from consumers for government.

Of course! It moves, so tax it! Typical dumbocrat.
Sudden-acceleration, what a scam that is. It’s nothing more than people trying to get out of accidents that are their fault. I just bought a 2009 RAV4. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Congress.
I clicked on the link thinking surely this has to be a joke thread. Sadly, I was mistaken.
Do you have dandruff? Higher shampoo taxes for you! Bad breath? Higher taxes on Listerine and other mouthwash products....Democrats never met a tax they didn’t like.
If you increase taxes enough, people won’t be able to afford fuel, without fuel the vehicle will not move, therefore it IS a solution.
