The Mileage Tax - We Should Have Known

Our government status quo has been telling us that we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. We need to get away from our addiction, and use alternative sources of power. We should have known that when we actually started doing what they tell us needs to be done, they would consider punishment as our reward. In a newsletter I received just recently, the state of Oregon, and possibly several other states, are considering a tax on each mile we drive, because... we're buying less gasoline (their agenda), due to our more fuel efficient vehicles (mandated by our government). This is what I call government logic. When an idea makes absolutely no economic sense, you can rest assured that's exactly the course our political leaders will pursue.
