Kerry: Raise the gas tax

unless it's been changed recently, the tax still applies for cars-imported selling at over $40,000

Try to avoid insulting other members so overtly.

PDiddie, thanks for that info, I had no idea!
The auto luxury tax was scheduled to end in 2003.
I don't know if it actually has, but they've been lowering it in increments since 1996.

Yep, it's history!
The automobile luxury tax, brought to you by the first president Bush, has expired.
Under the current president Bush, you now get big tax bennies.
Though the struggling economy presumably does not have much of an impact on folks who drop $75,000 or more on a gift, there is a new financial wrinkle in this year's luxury-cars-as-gifts market: the federal luxury tax on new cars over $40,000 expired on Jan. 1.
The luxury tax, which has been phased out over the last six years from a high of 10 percent, applies to any amount over $40,000 that a consumer spends on a new car.

Kerry's idea? Great! About time!

That's my character all right.

What I want to know is, where's my flying car? We were supposed to have them by around 1970 and they're still not here.

What we really need these days is hydrogen-powered cars. Nothing comes out the tailpipe but water. That might make for a lot of rusty tailpipes though.

KERRY ON ENERGY AND OIL:
Voted YES on targeting 100,000 hydrogen-powered vehicles by 2010. (Jun 2003)
Voted YES on removing consideration of drilling ANWR from budget bill. (Mar 2003)
Voted NO on drilling ANWR on national security grounds. (Apr 2002)
Voted NO on replacing CAFE standards within 15 months. (Mar 2002)
Voted NO on preserving budget for ANWR oil drilling. (Apr 2000)
Voted NO on defunding renewable and solar energy. (Jun 1999)
Voted NO on approving a nuclear waste repository. (Apr 1997)
Voted NO on do not require ethanol in gasoline. (Aug 1994)
For that is what this thread is about...

Radical environmental agenda? I don't think so.
