    So a new tax on the folks with jobs on their way to and from work, but those on welfare can sit at home and not pay.

    This is just something someone wrote up and is not something proposed.

    But, in reality, I would not be surprised by Ray Lahood wanting this. It has always been something that this republican has wanted.

    He is not a friend of any working individual in the transporatation industry and not anyone from Illinois.

    Makes me sad that when his career started, I supported him.

    The way its going we will be paying more in taxes and fees than we make then the you know what will hit the fan. At some point the taxation on the working man and woman needs to stop because we can only pay so much before its not worth going to work.

    That's an intelligent thought. :)

    rbht, don't forget the unemployment tax, lol. My sister lives up in PA and she has to pay one of the most absurd taxes I ever heard of...

    right to work tax.

    The idiots in Washington have absolutely no touch of reality! They drive around in taxpayer funded vehicle with taxpayers funded gas charge cards. I believe it's time to strip them of all the taxpayer funded privileges, yes I said privileges! They don't have a right to any of those things. They already make $170k yr, there's no reason under any circumstance that they can't pay for their expenses!
