Yes this is BS, but there is something we can do about it. We the American people have put these politicians in to place and they work for us and yet we as a majority do nothing in the means of telling them what we want.It is wrong for our government to dictate what we can and can not buy, hell its unconstitutional. If a car company wants to build a 1000hp car that gets 2 mpg it should be allowed too and if I want to be able to buy such a car I should not be charged a gas guzzler tax, this is my right.now I am not saying we should throw fuel economy out the window but a smart car company would build cars to fit the demands of the consumer and as most of you know even if you have never taken a econ class that this is the law of supply and demand. Now most of you will say no supply and demand dictates price, well you are right but it also controls what is made and what is not, it is the reason that in the late 50's and throughout the 60's we had a boom in fast strong cars because thats what the people wanted. Now most of you want to tell me I haven't told you what we can do about it, well our government works the same way. We are the consumer and the government is the supplier, we tell them what we want and if they want to keep their job they do what we ask them to. So if you do not want the government treading upon your civil liberties then tell them so if they do not listen then become active in removing them from that position, you don't have to wait till elections to remove them if you can get enough people together you can call for their resignation.
