Bob696:
It stems from comments mad by the lib dems leader (mcKenzie or something). He is trying to get rid of the promised 50% tax rate on earnings over £120K per year and he suggested that this could be done by adopting the green road tax on motors advocated by some wierdos in a goverment think tank.
The think tank suggested that 4x4s should pay £2k per annum and mid sized cars should pay £1500 per annum. So its not just 4x4s that would be targeted it would be all cars.
Lets face it, if that is voted for by the conference the chances of the lib/dems being elected drop from very low to non exsistant. It would mean that 'middle england' would become carless very quickly with only the rich having cars of any sort.

back to the feudal system then.

road tax should be added to fuel :x :x
the more you use the more you pay this would be the simplest thing to do, instead of hitting everyones pocket hard :x :x
black bob said it right this will lead to the closing of the only decent manufacture left in the UK :cry:
windowlicker:
ost i hear what your saying but i and many others earn a relatively low income which leave's very little spare cash and in some cases leaves you short :(
but to add to this my work involves me traveling an average of 50 to 60 miles a day and i struggle to find the money to pay for the fuel as it is and i could only imagine that if more tax was added on fuel then i would have no option but to give my job up and i would think that this would be the same for mant others.
