The next logical step?

It seems that the more fuel efficient vehicles that the Fed mandated to be manufactured are causing a shortfall in gasoline excise tax revenues for the Fed and the states.
So, what do these blood sucking leeches propose to cure this problem?

You guessed it... A mileage tax! Tracked via GPS.

The Fed is also trying to get people to quit smoking tobacco. What do you suppose they'll come up with to fix that revenue shortfall?
A tax on breathing air?

The blind are fumbling around in the dark. Unable to see that their constituents can't afford to buy gas because there are no jobs.

I say (insert politically correct expletive here) I'll buy a bicycle.

Plus a horse fart/emissions tax.
