MODERATORS
A failure to properly regulate the import of yank tanks. Stop letter them in, simple.
How about we allow them in, but make them work in our interests through high taxes and other ownership requirements that more than offset the damage they do.
Sound good. Maybe something like make them have an extra child to make up for the one the will inevitably run down? Lol
Yeah, if it was simply environmental, then maybe there could be some sort of offset scheme introduced. However unlikely it would be to actually make it to 1:1.
But adding the extra, and unnecessary, road danger, yeah.. old mates weekend can go stick it.
Can you please write all public policy for the country?
Also disallow tax writeoffs on 'em
The problem is the tax writeoffs are for businesses. You can't close that loophole unless the govt gets into the weeds of defining exactly what a "work truck" is. Those people who claim tax writeoffs on these yank tanks actually do use them for work or appear to. ~~Even if the use is just driving to work.~~
