Can someone explain to me the rational behind you Americans creating your own fuel out of whatever and then allowing your government to tax you on what you made?? THAT IS INSANE!!!!

If you grow tabacco for yourself and smoke it must you give the gov cash??

Wouldn't this guy have already paid taxes on the veg oil he bought in the first place?? What ever he turns it into shouldn't force him to then pay more for it...

i can try.

step 1: americans are allowed to vote for either corrupt old white fukker a. or corrupt old white fukker b. after honest politician for change is pushed out of race due to lack of proper access to tax monies, favor granting abilities, and media coverage.

step2: the winner of said corrupt old white fukker contest then uses his new podium to stand on and urinate heavily down the throats of those who voted for him.

step 3: he then uses tax monies and favors to buy contributions to his campaign for reelection.

step 4: repeat step 1.

steel: the explanation's quite simple. yes, the guy paid taxes on his fuel. sales tax. gasoline/diesel sales also include other taxes used for road construction and maintenance and he is not paying those.

somewhat retarded, but there you go.

(puts his pseudo-lawyer hat on)

The way I'm reading the article, the rationale is not so much about what the guy put in his car as that the guy used that stuff to impel his car onto tax-bought roadways. The fuel tax is much like a toll without the booth: if he didn't pay but he's still using the roads...

I know, you can argue the loophole of offroading. But, hey, maybe you wouldn't get fined for that. Maybe the government would waive the necessity of a tax in that case. OMG! FLIEGENSCHWEINE!

Seriously, though, the money would come from somewhere - if not this tax, then they'll draw up a new tax to get the eco-fuelers.

What about (plug-in) electric cars? Bicycles? Joggers?

How about steam powered cars, maybe with coal burners or wood burners?

When I finally market my souls-of-aborted-fetus-powered car, I'm gonna make a mint.

anticipation is agony.

I would have to tell them to go fuck themselves when it came to that $1,000 dollar fine.

RUBY RIDGE-TYPE STANDOFF UP IN THIS MOTHA FUCKA!
