Ray La Hood: A Republican plant in the Obama administration

Let's tax vehicles for every mile you drive.  Get a more fuel efficient vehicle?  Doesn't matter, we'll tax it the same.  Every mile you drive you pay the same tax as a Hummer.

Sounds really dumb, right?  It was an idea floated by the transportation secretary.  The White House took only a few hours to kill it.

I know putting Republicans in the cabinet is supposed to mean good things but if the guy seriously that was a good idea he should be fired.  Now.

    Hmmm... Sounds familiar! I have an idea. Let's put a tax on final sales. We'll call it a "fair tax" and everyone will pay the same no matter what percentage of their income is spent on final goods. Oh, and don't worry - we'll give free coupons to reimburse people for the groceries they buy.

    I wonder what happened to the Fair Tax people. I think they pretty much folded up after the Iowa caucuses.
