Some states want to punish fuel-efficient car drivers

Tell that to the folks who clean the men's room at the twin cities airport.

 

Your political perception is on a par with to your (top) posting
style. I hope you don't bother to vote.

 

Miniscule compared to the carnage wreaked by the Repugnants. The GOP
(which, contrary to their wishes, is not God's Own Party) is a hotbed of
liars, crooks, thieves, miscreants, and scoundrels. They don't give a
shit about the country; they're interested only in their own welfare and
their own flawed ideology.

Yeah, the Democrats have a few like that too; William Jefferson and the
governor of Illinois come to mind, but as a whole the party stands head
and shoulders above the cess pool that calls itself the GOP.

Hmmmmmm..... Some flawed reasoning methinks.

Top Ten Cities (250,000 or more) with the HIghest Poverty Rates


1. Detroit, MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati, OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland, OH 27.0%
5. Miami, FL 25.9%
6. St. Louis, MO 26.8%
7. El Paso, TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee, WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia, PA 25.1%
10. Newark, NJ 24.2%


Betcha thar' ain't a nasty Republican to be found in any of these...

Those cites don't have a low living standard because they are
Democratic, they are Democratic because they have a low living
standard.

The Republicans have rarely shown a disposition to helping anyone but
themselves: the "I got mine, good luck getting yours" philosophy.
whereas the Democrats have a "I have some, let's all share"
philosophy). The poor would benefit by being taught the techniques of
singleness/certainty of purpose and perseverance that the self-made
Republicans have used to get where they are, but few Republicans want
to teach it (a few notable exceptions). The poor would benefit by the
successful Democrats teaching those same concepts and rather than
handing out and preaching strategy-less hope (again, some notable
exceptions).

 

Why am I not surprised?

"Self made" indicates folks who do what they must to be successful. IOW,
they are providers rather than takers.

Something that is not part of the Democrat vocabulary...

JT

 

I think you'd be hard pressed to prove that there are more "self made"
Republicans than Democrats.

The problem is that it's only part of the Republican vocabulary when
talking about themselves. They have no desire to distribute their
skills to others. The Democrats fail by concentrating on practical
skills and failing to teach the mindset necessary to achieve goals.

Both groups could do a lot more to stimulate people with potential.

 

No, what Democrats have is more of a "that guy has some, let's forcibly
extract it from him and give it to somebody else, keeping some for
our trouble" philosophy.

 

What do they make this complicated with GPS? They just have to
records the odeometer annual, say at the emissions test.

 

You're joking, right?

Republicans are wealth creators while the Demos are wealth consumers.

What are the "practical" skills of democrats? Thinking of ways to share
the "wealth" is all I can think of.

Now, this is true.

And of course 8 years under a Republican regime has clearly shown
that. During the previous 8 years under a Democrat we suffered the
greatest depression since the 30s and now, of course, we are in the
best of times.

Typical whiner retort... Totally incapable of root cause assessment.

It's time for you two to quit arguing. Here's a nice place where you can
say goodbye to Mr. Bush:

If mileage will be taxed then why buy those tiny little cars that can
go 50mpg. I dont think this will push thru.

 

No, they can't count out of state travel against the drivers, so they
have to know where those miles come from. Big brother here we come!

 

Typical brainwashed neo-con tool. Objective evaluation is beyond your
grasp.

 

The only things WITHIN YOUR grasp are your sisters' and mother's pussies.
