Unfair Tax Petition
 
Please pass this on. It only takes a minute. The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having to purchase a tracking device
for your car and paying a monthly bill to use it.

The tracking device will cost about £200 and in a recent study by the BBC, the lowest monthly bill was £28 for a rural florist and £194 for a delivery driver.

A non-working Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid £86 in one month.

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit you can expect a NIP with your monthly bill.

If you care about our freedoms and stopping the constant bashing of the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website. You will receive an email with a link which will confirm and register your signature when you click on it.

A few hundred years ago, some of us took offense to taxes without representation. If you really want to join us, just take a flight to Mexico and walk north. We will take care of you.

Jeez Mate...time to find a new country. Come on over for a holiday.

Find a new country? Why? I live in the good old USA.

We give $$ to the people we like, and bomb the $hit out of our enemies!

Road pricing sounds like BIG BROTHER from 1984. Over here, we just add more tax to the price of gas. Same results, but less intrusive than tracking devices.
