I'm sure it won't be anything like the taxes imposed on yacht charters. It couldn't possibly decimate the financial services industry in exactly the same way it did boating.

We're broke, and instead of reigning in our spending we've increased it tenfold, but that is perfectly fine. Mr Ed is better at math than this guy.

Prices for dockage went from $0.50/foot a few years ago to $7/foot today. Maybe the problem isn't the government?

Speed is not the cause of any of these accidents. Bad driving is the cause of the accidents. Not wearing a seat belt is the cause of death. In many places in Europe their highways are de-restricted, with no formal speed limit, but despite this, have far lower rates of fatal accidents. Drivers pay attention, and are belted in. A 35mph accident can be deadly for an occupant not wearing a seat belt, while the same accident at 85 while wearing a seatbelt could be walked away from.

Put down the cell phone, and put on the seat belt. The rate of fatal accidents would drop tenfold overnight.

While the rest of the world is retiring their internal combustion engines, and going all in on renewables, we are installing more? Somehow while doing this we are also touring the world begging for help with global warming? I'm a bit confused.
