Government wants tax miles driven...

According to the article from the hill, the government wants to tax how many miles you drive.  Personally, there is a serious privacy issue.  One has to presume some advice would have to be attached to your car.  I am sure it will be sold as a non-tracking device but just show mileage.

I am sure Big Brother will give preferential treatment to Hybrid drivers or Government Motors customers.  At some point, us liberty lovers must take a stand.  I really admire the Tea Party.  They are everyday people standing up and saying enough is a enough.  They are speaking in a Patrick Henry way.... They are talking to King George and it is falling on a deaf ear.

Patrick Henry's "Give me Liberty or Give me death" speech is known for its famous quip.  Yet, when one reads the entire speech, it is eloquent and well reasoned.  When he says...

"And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on."

We have tried argument, we have protested at 1600 Pennsylvania and were not even noticed... or ignored  There have been disgust and anguish by many and that disgust and anguish has been made apparent, yet we are either ignored or marginalized.  The majority of our government officials and bureaucrats have come to their own conclusion that they are our masters.  The arrogance and power grab is blatantly outside the constitution yet by writing that, the Department of Homeland Security (aka, Stasi USA), makes me a potential domestic terrorist.  The madness does not appear to have any end in sight.

I feel ineffectual and confused.  Like many others, we know Big Brother is lurking and we know Big Brother needs to be stopped but like others, I don't know where to start.  Unfortunately, there are countless mindless voters.    I propose for Atlas to Shrug and I know Atlas will shrug; I do not know when.  Unfortunately, I am merely talk... I am not the first to shrug. I am a producer but I have quit hiring new employees and when people quit I have decided to stop hiring replacements.  The government can be choked by Atlas Shrugging but would the mindless replace our Republic with something that has already failed.  I suspect that yes they will.
