Maybe heavier cars and vehicles should have a lower speed limit then.

Maybe car sales taxes should scale by vehicle weight.

If you consume more of the road, you pay more

The US said the same thing about helping Czeckslovakia, then Poland, then Yugoslavia, then France.

Sticking your head in the sand to ignore a problem, does not do anything to address it.

Another way you could handle that is that any property you own after your 1st or 2nd, automatically attracts commercial property tax rates.

That should not disallow private individual to rent a spare room, or holiday home, but it will kill off the investment businesses that specialise running airbnb syndicates.

Additionally, if a property has not had a full time occupant for at least 9 of the 12 months in a year, it is subject to a wealth tax based on its value.

That should deal with the investment firms that just sit on massive stocks of empty homes and business properties, feeding off the increasing prices they are creating themselves, while adding no value and offering no service.

The GOP would never be able to win the electoral college without Texas. So that's why it will never happen.

But maybe we can trick Abbot, he might be stupid enough to fall for it?

What I meant, is that if you plan to have kids, you may want to vote for politicians that will give your children the best future, even after they are born.

E5 for me. I soak and squeeze the crap out of the teebag.

A tip for everyone to get stronger tee. Put the teebag in a quarter cup of boiled water, then boil it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add the rest of the water. It releases all the favour in the bag.
