Redistribution of wealth?

California will have a new "fee" on new so called Gas Guzzlers ie: Vipers, Hummers and so on. Up to $2500.00 dollars tacked on to cost of vehicle for anyone above the poverty level. Those below are exempt, and from what I understand the poor get some of this money. I'm all for helping the poor! but being forced to smacks of communisium doesn't it?

 

Communism indeed. I'm all for helping the poor too, so long as they work full time, don't have 2000 kids, are drug free... and 99% of the 'help' comes from private organizations and not my paycheck.

 

Uh...im pretty sure I paid a $2,100 gas guzzler tax when i bought the SRT haha

 

Exactly, charity is a willing do it from your heart thing, not a do it or go to jail thing.

 

Reasons I've been a fiscal conservative since I first had to pay capital gains in my late teens. :happy:

 

yea i was going to say that we've had that law forever, i'm surprised it took the nazi state this long to catch on

 

i'd rather pay the $2,100 and not have their freaking crazy emissions laws!

 

hell yea. obd2 scan ftw!!!!!

 

I think the first one $2100.00 is technically a luxury tax. this will be an additional $2500.00 literal gas guzzler tax added on top of that by the sound of it?

 

No...it says..."Gas guzzler tax" hahaha....I can take a pic of my window sticker for ya haha

 

I stand corrected, then they must just be bumping it up!

 

yes, theyre bumping it up. its all because barb boxer and the rest of the dumbass liberals in this state are trying to get all cars at 30+mpg.

it seems the poor dont get enough money from unemployment, welfare, free healthcare, etc.

 

as long as its only $2,100...ill pay the freaking tax so they dont mess w/ my emissions like CA haha

 

yeah, i had the lovely gg tax on mine as well here in florida!!! 2100 bucks!!! now, like steve said, having lived in cali for a looooong time, i would gladly pay the gg tx than have to deal with the emissions crap!!!! smog check..... what friggin smog check!!!!!

 

now its gonna be like adding insult to injury by giving them the regs...AND the tax hahaha

 

I paid a 1200 dollar gas guzzler tax days before the enacted an increase to 2100 dollars for Charger SRT8's in Ontario. And guess what? You guys will all be getting some form of emissions testing. Probably sooner than later....it's all this 'green'
bs.

 

it pisses me off thats for sure, but at the same time, hybrids are getting ballsier and ballsier every year. the new lexus is pushing 400 with their new engine, all the time getting 30+ mpg.

 

thats why you have to make friends with the guys at your local inspection shop!!! haha

 

steve - yep..... imo we are seeing the second coming of the big v8 hp times of the original "muscle car" days..... a couple of years from now our cars will be obsolete and the value will only go up........ thats what i hope anyway!!! hahahahahaha

 

The current $2100 gas guzzler tax is a Federal one. Sounds like California wants one of their own. So $4600 to own a big V8. :chair: I've lived here all my life but sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. :drugs:
