What is kind of funny is, liberals hate it because the wealthy own SUVs, yet, they claim that the wealthy are the 1% of the country who should be taxed to the hilt. So, if 1% of the country is driving SUVs, what is the problem. Apparently, they can afford it. How is an SUV any worse than a yacht or private jet/helicopter?

This bill could punish more than the "wealthy." In addition to the $3,500 tax on SUVs, other possible scenarios include a 50-cents-per-gallon gas tax and a 2-cents-per-mile-driven tax (not sure how this would be enforced).

Not the point. It's not THEIR SUV they are concerned about. It's YOURS!
