New Mileage Based Taxing System

So, the plans are to tax us by the mile now since we have more fuel efficient vehicles

The real scary part is the way they want to do it. RFID chips in vehicles linked up to GPS systems to track your mileage and whereabouts. I hope you can all see where this is headed...

I guess this is the "change we can believe in".

Itll never work. Nope. They cant even keep us from ripping dvds and passing them out on the internet etc. Hackers will prevail! Woot

Yeah, but I'm sure if they do this they'll come with some BS fine or possibly even jail time for tampering with the device. The best case scenario is that it doesn't happen at all.

Quote:

In the 2007 test which lasted 10 months with 300 motorists at two service stations, drivers were taxed 1.2 cents per mile and were refunded the 24 cents a gallon state gas tax. When the motorists got to the pump, their vehicles connected to government computers informing them of the mileage (calculated via GPS tracking) and issuing tax.

^^^^^^^
This is how they trick people into thinking this is a good idea. They think "Yaaay! We get a tax rebate!". Next thing you know they're tracking your toilet flushes.

Maybe this is why people are getting poor mileage in their vehicles ...

Its not possible for them to win without artificial intelligence. If it was created by humans, then someone knows how to crack it. If this happens, i smell some yummy tax evasion in my future
