all im saying is penalty taxes on purchasing somethign are wrong to me...i shouldnt be penalized because i want to buy something,
forget the luxury taxe man.. i was just saying alot of countries around the world have those... we are now talking about the "SUV tax".

How do you know you would have a Hybrid SUV break down in a week?

Even if you think you shouldn't be penalised for purchasing something that enviromentally unfriendly... You should at least be rewarded if you buy something that is friendly to the enviroment. And to fund that you should tax the most polluting consumers.

YOU sir are the moron. You think cause your grandmas car is still in good condition it'll run forever? Its common sense. Old cars fade out... new cars are bought. How many 1930's cars are still around? Or 40's or 50's. Other then collectors, they arent on the road very much. The MAJORITY of the population who purchased these have sold/scraped/run them to the ground and in teh process purchased newer ones with better emissions.

You cant tell someone they cant drive a car they've had for 50 years anymore, so you try and regulate the NEW high emission vehicles and provide incentive for the NEW low emission ones.



Don't start a fucking argument just for the fact that you don't like the dood. Thats childish. Get that through your head.

You're missing the entire point, which is that older cars pollute far more than new SUVs. I'm not talking about cars from the fucking 1930's, stop dramatizing. How many cars do I see on the road from the 80's? A whole hell of a lot. And if you're going to get all environmentalist, why ignore those cars but blame SUVs for all of our eco problems? It's just a witch hunt. And I'm sure SUVs in 2020 will have much better emissions than any car from 2000. Same concept.

First off, seriously there arent that many 80's car on the road.. the few that are still around will be phased out eventually.

but the most poluting 2020 SUVs should still be taxed.... same concept. Dude no one what the fuck you actually saying that because we HAD more poluting cars in the past we shouldn't give a fuck about how poluting the current car are. :wtf: dude

You make stupid points. Its a phase out. How do you not understand that part? Do you know what the words mean?

You cant take away every old car from 1920 - 1996 and scrap them, and give everyone $2000 to buy new cars. WTF are they going to buy with that shit? Think of it logically. It's a way to fix the problem progressively.

"the problem" being that consumers have free reign to buy whatever the fuck they want? get real dude. there are soooo many better and easier ways to reduce global pollution and consumption of crude oil than to put stupid taxes on SUVs and other cars that consume a lot of fuel. And guess what, none of them have to do with the fucking government manipulating supply and demand.
