Gas tax alternative

Why dismiss it just like that? I think it is something that should be reviewed. Yeah, maybe at the end of the day it may be rejected ... but it should be given some consideration.

I did consider it... that took all of 3 seconds. Silly to tax your primary industry and lifeline (apart from remittances) into the ground.

What you don't realise is that people were going broke paying healthcare. If you had to get blood or major surgery it was major money.

Keep the free healthcare. What if you have fi pay 5 dollar more for gas for FREE HEALTHCARE?

you don't seem to understand my point.... why am I not surprised?

I was asking what you thought.

check him passport deh quick quick.

[Peter R]

I just considered it... and I considered a ludicrous proposal! Unless Dick is working for the Dominican Republic or Mexican tourist board ...

So, do you think 1.2 million people would ante up another $100 just so? i think that would be retrograde... Maybe giving every visitor a $20 US rebate for coming might be even a better solution? just being devil's advocate since you mentioned the word debate.

Never said if I was for or against .. just curious to hear various views.

Many cant pay Don. The overwhelming surge of new users is proof of that. No one with means would willingly join those long lines.

Agree totally. I feel that way about all govt services.

Similarly I believe everybody with any income should pay some income taxes even if it is a token amount.
