And how about SUV`s of the government? I`m not sure they will be pay for
this and think about good of the country.
An how about places in U.S.A., where non-SUV`s are useless and can stack?
Farmers will be pay more.
Ask farmers first.
And think about sportcars.

It's obvious that with oil becoming scarcer, we should try and
preserve what is left for the really important thing that matters -
economic production.

As SUVs are basically a huge waste of gasoline (and other resources),
the government should consider an extra tax on them to discourage
their use. Nothing like the hip pocket effect to adjust people's
behaviour!

There already is... It's at the gas pumps. If you drive an SUV and go
through 20 gallons a week, you are definatley paying more than someone
in a runabout buring 8 gallons a week.

In case you didn't notice, that hasn't work so far. I still see plenty of
SUVs looking out my window. I'm talking about taxation that *hurts*.

OH a sin tax you are suggesting. Make sense you have the moral
authority to determine what is good, and what is bad, and how to
address it. You go girl!

As far as taxes go. Things should be taxed at exactly the rate that it
costs government to maintain that thing. If it costs $x a year to
collect garbage, then property should be taxed at a level where that
$x will be collected. If it costs $y a year to fight the pollution
produced by driving a car, then tax gasoline at a level that will
collect that $z. If it costs $z per car to process that car when it
goes to scrap and take care of the landfill it goes into, then tax the
purchase price at a level that will collect $z.

What a load of crap. It would be near impossible to work out the exact cost
of each item you listed. Far better to aim for revenue neutrality. Use
taxes to alter people's behaviour and then use that cash to fund programs
that help society.
