OPPS!
Guess the liberals forgot the price they'll have to pay when you are encouraged to go green.
With a Federal tax break for buying an electric car, so goes that tax levied on per gallon of gasoline, because they won't be buying gas at their local gas station any time soon.....
BUT........
From the Seattle Times:
Electric-car owners not only don't buy gasoline, they also don't pay gas taxes.
A bill introduced in the state Senate would try to get back some of that money for the state.
Under the legislation, electric-car owners would pay a special $100 "fee" each year when registering their vehicles.
Senate Bill 5251 would require electric-car owners to pay the $100 "fee", in addition to any other required fees and taxes, when the vehicle is first registered, and when the registration is renewed.
OK, since when is a "FEE" a "TAX"
It's NOT
BUT, like Obamacare, they call it a fee.... at first.... which I am sure if they keep that language, it will be challenge in the courts as unconstitutional, based on it never says "tax fee".... in either instance.
Read on:
Anti-tax activist Tim Eyman said he doesn't think Haugen's bill proposes a fee at all.
"That's a tax. It's no fee," he said. (does that sound familiar? AKA Obama)
Eyman contends the fee should be subject to an initiative he sponsored, I-1053, that requires a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate, or voter approval, to increase taxes. I-1053 was approved in November.

The Ready, Fire, Aim, approach to government....
Be Green!
Buy an electric car!
OPPPPPPPPPPS we forgot... if you buy an electric car, we have no way of collecting taxes.
Until we find some way to call a fee a tax....
This is a clear abuse of stealing by government.
