States begin to implement fees on electric cars as gas tax revenues decrease

America's Watchtower

 The Federal and State governments are in the business of identifying things which are not good for an individual and implementing taxes as a means, so they say, to dissuade people from engaging in the activities it deems unsafe.

  Smoking is easily the best example of this mindset, as is the recent push by many in the government to tax sugary drinks, limit sodium in products, regulate trans fats, and of course taxing gasoline and coercing people into driving more fuel efficient vehicles.

  This post is not meant to diminish the negative effects of any of these products because we all know that smoking and consuming too much sugar or salt is not good for you, but rather to highlight the real goal of the government when it decides to tax us for our own good.
