Go Green = Every Body

It is about time to tell our greedy Government we have had
enough taxes, it is time that they practice what they preach. Do not
tell the American people that they are not saving, and that is why
we are in the shape that we are in, and why we don't have any money.
If it was not for all the taxes that we pay now we would have money, but
if we try to save you tax it.
Our Government expect us to pay higher taxes on gas, electricity, food,
heat,and now a fat tax, but some it is a medical problem, so punish
them to.
Tell all top public officials who pays their wages, and we can't for get
Corporate, who makes the company there money, and busting there butts
every day just to make a living.

Motorists' habits spur call for tax increases.

WASHINGTON – Motorists are driving less and buying less gasoline, which
means fuel taxes aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost
of road, bridge and transit programs.

A federal commission created by Congress to find a way to make up the
growing revenue shortfall in the program that funds highway repairs and
construction is talking about increasing federal gas and diesel taxes.

How much of that money go's there and not in their Pockets???

A roughly 50 percent increase in gasoline and diesel fuel taxes is being urged
by the commission until the government devises another way for motorists to
pay for using public roads.

The 15-member National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure
Financing is the second group in a year to call for increasing the current 18.4
cents a gallon federal tax on gasoline and the 24.4 cents a gallon tax on diesel.
State fuel taxes vary from state to state.

In a report expected in late January, members of the infrastructure financing
commission say they will urge Congress to raise the gas tax by 10 cents a
gallon and the diesel tax by about 12 cents to 15 cents a gallon. At the same
time, the commission will recommend tying the fuel tax rates to inflation.

The commission will also recommend that states raise their fuel taxes and
make greater use of toll roads and fees for rush-hour driving.

Will it really go where they say it will go.????

But commission members said the government must find more road and
bridge building money somewhere.

"I'm not excited about a gas tax increase, but the reality is our current
gas tax doesn't pay for upkeep of the system we have now," said Adrian Moore,
vice president of the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank in Los Angeles,
and a member of the highway revenue commission. "We can either let the roads
go to hell or we can pay more."

"Instead of calling it a gas tax, call it a carbon tax," Whittington said.
