Stupid NW Bill proposal that would affect truck/SUV owners

**Kraziken** · 02-07-2008, 11:21 AM

This bill has no regards in to what kind of gas mileage a engine gets, and seeks to punish people who own large displacement vehicles.

No regard to whether the large vehicles are used for what they are intended (carrying 6+ passengers or cargo).

Well ......That's the Washington Governement..........

We already have the highest gas tax in the nation..........and pushing the highest gas prices........

The highest minimum wage ..........

So why not tax the vehicle's that we drive........$400 for my surburban 7.4

Washington is one of the biggest buyers of Trucks in the country.......

Go figure.............Lets just figure out how to get more money from our residents.......

PS Our governess...has the highest state surplus in the country.......Go Figure....

I moved out of Washington for a number of reasons. I still love the people, the scenery, the food, the outdoor activities ... but the politician and policies were killing me. I just wonder how long they can keep pushing everything higher and higher before it breaks the economy up there?

Steve..........

well it's a backassword approach........The put this mandatory minimum wage increase each year for the past 3 yrs ....which has created the highest wage in the states........

So they think they can just keep getting it back in Taxes...........

I just read today that the Governor sent to state a surplus budget of 1.2 billion......and the state wanted a 1 billion surplus...........

But just keep raising taxes.............

And by the way..........She was warning to tighten up.........WTF.......WHO.......THE STATE>>>>>>>>

HN.........US!!!!!!!

Thank god your out!!!!!

LOL

I agree Washington has gotten so expensive to live in. If it werent for family I would have moved a while ago.

Highest minimum wage in the nation, highest fuel prices in the nation, a proposed bill for license fees based on engine displacement, I read today they are considering toll booths to collect funds for bridges and road repair (not unheard of elsewhere but there has to be an end sometime).
