I hope he’s just using sarcasm to prove a point.
Politicians do not suggest more taxes to make a sarcastic point.
Next they will have a sex tax for the reason that it raises your breathing rate.
I wish they would put a tax on political speeches...that REALLY raises the hot air index.

From the dawn of time Politicians, Emperors, Dictators, Kings, Chieftains, Warlords, have wanted power, control and the ability to take everything that the people under their control possess.
Taxation is a favored tool. The saying is that have strived to tax everything but the are we breathe and they have succeded in that goal.
They now are moving on to the end game and actually are moving to tax the air we breathe
This is part of a proposed transportation tax package here in WA. The idea of a $25 license fee for bicycles that sell for more than $500 is to help pay for the building and maintenance of bike lanes, paths, trails, etc. that are funded by our gas tax. It’s about damn time they help pay their own way. Have you ever seen what The anarchists Critical Mass can do?
The law would also increase the current state fuel tax by an additional 10 cents per gallon on our already obscene 37.5 cent tax which has made us #9 in the U.S., as well as adding more to the cost of vehicle tabs and processing fees. Our legislature has never seen a gas tax increase they didn’t like.
