A Black Box in Your Car? Some See a Source of Tax Revenue

29th October 2013

Read it.

Of course, ‘some’ see everything as a source of tax revenue. Barack Obama is one. Most Democrats are in this ‘some’.

The devices would track every mile you drive —possibly including your location — and the government would use the data to draw up a tax bill.

Once you make a system the accuracy of which penalizes people, the people whom it penalizes will devote their time and considerable ingenuity to gaming the system so as to avoid the penalty. This is a universal constant of human nature that the ‘some’ never seem to comprehend. Honest people will pay, and dishonest people will not. Do we really want a system that rewards dishonesty and penalizes dishonesty? Well, want it or not, that’s what we’re going to get.
