Tax Bicyclists For Exhaling CO2 When They Ride, Says Wash. Rep
March 5, 2013
Taxing the air we breathe may be coming
to Washington state. Yes, the insane taxing of every behavior is rising
to a whole new level with the proposed “bike tax” in Washington.
According to lawmakers who proposed the bike tax, it would help raise
$1 million over the next decade to be used for road maintenance. The
new $25 tax will be applied on every bike sold for over $500 in the
state.
One Washington lawmaker is making twisted argument in support of the new
fee. Rep. Ed Orcutt wrote in an email to a bike shop that the CO2 that
bicyclists exhale while riding is just one of the reasons he supports
the bike tax.
“Since CO2 is deemed a greenhouse gas and a
pollutant, bicyclists are actually polluting when they ride,” Orcutt
wrote. Therefore, they should pay taxes to help the environment as well
as the roads.Here is his full email:
