Higher priced barrels of oil, less driving (7th month decline in a row, with a monthly decrease of 3.7% – the third-highest decrease since the U.S. started driving), and less gas consumption to off-set personal, limited budgets…and as a result, the tax revenue that pay for roads,  bridges, and transit project has suffered and faces a $3.1B shortfall.

What is big-bro considering doing?  Not raise taxes (thank goodness).  Why, throw technology at it – of course!  And at your expense of FREEDOM!

How and Why:

How:  Add a "black-box" to every new vehicle that will track your driving habits, how much you drive, when you drive, where you drive, and how often.  Then you get a billing every month from the Fed. for your "transportation services", which you will pay the government.  Sounds like lock-and-chain GPS doesn’t it?

Why: On the surface, to sustain funds (albeit another form of taxes) through a recurring monthly basis (this is what businesses do).  The unstated reason – to be able to track anybody, anywhere, at any time if and when THEY deem it necessary.  I’m sure it is being reported as MERELY another tool in the toolbox of security monitoring.  We’ve seen similar instances throughout history, then the track/check system was readily abused for personal or political reasons.

SCREAM!! and make sure your presidential candidate choice DOESN’T support this proposal that will ROB YOU of YOUR FREEDOM.  YELL!! to make sure your Senate representative does not support this measure!!  INUNDATE your House of Representative with calls, letters, emails to STOP THIS planned tracking.  What’s next – tax your iPOD, iPhone, Wii, or Playstation 3 as a media service?
