Rant #2 - I went to the DMV this morning with every intention of renewing my drivers license.  I wait in line for a couple of minutes, when I realize that they might not take credit cards.  Sure enough on a big paper sign at the desk is we take cash or checks only.

We live in a world of completely fake money so why not take credit cards.  I could see that a prudent use of tax dollars would be not to pay the costs of credit card transactions. 

Back to the drawing board tomorrow!  I am sure after I go through the entire process I will have rant #3.

I have no followers on this blog, but I need a place to rant so I am starting it again.

The thing that has me a bit ticked is the government's idea of replacing the gas tax with expensive equipment to track our miles.  I find this flawed for many reasons.

First the expense of the equipment.  Who is going to pay for  it?  Oh wait tax dollars!

The gas tax is a TAX.  The government takes enough of my money for worthless purposes, so why not just add on equivalent which would be close to the average current gas tax.  Then allocate that portion to the causes that the gas taxes support.  I am sure they are great causes!

We the people are smarter than that.  We will begin using public transportation or Cars2Go.

We the people already pay in way to much to support bull shit initiatives.

Wake up people!  We should institute the flat tax ASAP!

I am sure I have more to say, but I got that tiny bit of angst off my chest.
