If you tax an activity, people will do it less often.

Less driving means less going out to dinner, less going to the movies, less impulse-shopping at the mall.

Leave it to Democrats to create new ways to crash the economy.

Most every political figure in California deserves at the least to be dragged from their offices or homes and be tarred and feathered.

Don't you already pay a mile-tax called "gasoline fuel tax" (which is dispersed as you burn your gasoline per mile).

This would be double-taxation, no?
