Tax the hybrid car drivers

The Chamber of Commerce has a problem, not enough revenue to maintain the system's highways. One idea, tax the drivers of hybrid cars and other alternative fuel vehicles because they are being too efficient notes the Detroit News.

I'd like to know which moron on the Chamber came up with that one. Is that the way government works? Congress spends money to get people to do one thing, then another area of government wants to take that money away. Here, we'll pay you to do this, then we'll tax you for doing it. That makes sense, right?

With hybrids comprising just one percent of the U.S. automarket, how do hybrids even come up on the radar? Does someone have an axe to grind?

Whoever is getting paid to come up with ideas like that needs to be fired.
