Another car tax?

[Barry14UK]

Is this the way Government will recover some of the lost revenue from electric cars and further add to what non electric cars already contribute? Using the particulates  reasoning you could add tax to trainers and other rubber soled footwear as these  also wear and emit particulates!  https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/drivers-could-be-hit-with-new-tyre-tax-in-new-crackdown-on-emissions/ar-AA17XsiF?ocid=mailsignout&pc=U591&cvid=d289f12cfaa04501b4a39797c702ea4b

Well....

We live in a society where 'improving the standards of living' has been in important (even implicit) requirement for the majority of our population since the 1950's.

The rapid development of materials and technology has made this easier - and more expensive.

Medical care is exponentially dearer, as are many of our consumables.

We're living longer too.

So we eat more, travel further, wear more, use more, discard more, and are ill for longer.

 

We'd better get used to having higher taxes!

 

Writing this has caused me to think:--------

Man used to die from Consumption, now we are dying from over-consumption.
