Massachusetts is considering tracking the movements of all drivers in order to impose a per-mile tax on driving. Oregon is considering a similar plan. (Via Instapundit.)
Hard to believe that Massachusetts was once the cradle of the American revolution. Someone ought to be tarred and feathered for this.
POSTSCRIPT: In Oregon’s case, they’re promising not to use the system to keep track of people’s movements. Is that supposed to comfort us? How long would that promise be kept? Not long, if the battle over firearms trace data is any indication.
