A Tax That's Typical California
California's legislature has plenty of warped ideas. Now there's a piece of legislation that would tax big vehicles to subsidize small vehicles. Under the "Clean Car Discount" bill, big vehicles that emit lots of Carbon Dioxide would pay a tax of up to $2500. This tax (after appropriate amounts are siphoned off by the state bureaucracy) would subsidize small cars through a rebate program.
Forgetting that global warming is a theory—a theory that is looking more dubious (to me) day by day—I doubt this will have any impact on global warming. In fact, the only thing this will do for certain is raise agriculture prices as farmers are big users of big vehicles (they need them), and they'll pass on their costs, of course.
Just another typical day in Sacramento....
