Just amazing.

Yeah, I know… everyone else and their momma has posted a link to this. But you know what? It’s just that dang good. I’ve listened to it about 5 times, and it’s still that dang good.

If this doesn’t put a smile in your heart, nothing will.

Miles of Taxes

Written by Robert Rhodes on in: Hawaii, Politics, Taxes |

And the media/government/clueless ones wonder why we, the people, are having tea parties.

Well, here’s a good example of why.

Hawaii To Test Taxing By The Mile

Hawaii lawmakers are hoping to pass legislation that would determine the viability of taxing drivers by the mile. Legislators say as more people purchase hybrid vehicles and driving habits change, fuel tax collections will likely suffer.

“We have to make sure that the highway fund is properly funded because if it isn’t, then we simply stop putting in the infrastructure,” said Sen. Kalani English, chair of the Transportation Committee and the lead sponsor of the bill.

The pilot program, known as Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), would be administered by the State Transportation Department as part of the Hawaii’s Highway Modernization Plan. Transportation Director Brennon Morioka told Khon2 a variety of methods would be looked at to determine the best way of tracking driving habits.

“Monitoring your odometers by going into service stations…or using GPS or whatever other form of tracking device,” said Morioka.

I think I should invest in more tea.

Tea Time

Yeah, that’s right. I’m one of those crazy right wing conservative people that is going to a Tax Day Tea Party here in Honolulu.

In. Honolulu.

How bad has it gotten, when even a liberal state such as Hawaii, thinks the spending and the taxes have gone too far?

I’ll be at the State Capitol Building [yes, they have a permit for this "festival"].

Hopefully, I’ll have somewhere to park.

I’ll probably have to pay a parking tax.
