Hmmm, interesting idea. Perhaps a gas guzzler tax for those whose

Some sort of rationing is not a bad idea. It is at least worthy of
serious discussion by the next administration in open forums.
Are there any limits on what will be rationed?
Be careful rationing is a slippery slope to total control of the
population.
I doubt that most Parkers are seriously fuel efficient so HK should
pay the boat gas guzzler tax.


Maybe limit recreational boat use to 10 gallons /week or would 5
gallons/week be better?


This is a great idea. Anything under 10hp would not be taxed. Anyone
with a sailboat and no motor would get paid to go sailing.


God help Me I do not want to be known as the author of this idea.





I liked my idea better. Those with small, fuel efficient gas sipper cars
or boats should pay more per gallon because they don't need as much.
Those with gas guzzlers pay less because they need more.

Balanced properly, everybody pays the same to support their transportation
needs or recreational activities. What's more fair than that?

It's called redistribution of resources, in the interest of fairness, of
course.
