Should people who buy hybrids be charged a tax to support research to deter "global warming"?

Question

Like an additional $200 a year?

Answer 1

first you would need to provide any evidence that global warming is not happening. which you carnt. Even if global warming is not real do oil is a finite resource and it is running out. why not try and conserve it?

Answer 2

no one should ever be charged taxes

Answer 3

People who buy hybrid cars are already supporting research by making it economically viable to sell hybrid cars.  That is why people who drive hybrids get a tax cut - they are already doing something to reduce global warming pollution.

Charging a tax to drive a hybrid car would only make less people want to drive them because of increased cost.  A tax like this would only increase global warming.

Answer 4

why would you ask this

Answer 5

Yes!   And people who buy gashog vehicles should be charged an extra $10,000 a year to suppor the war in Iraq to secure oil for their vehicles.

Answer 6

NO, people should be charged a tax to drive hummers, and for being stupid.

Answer 7

No people who dont by hybrids should have to pay an additional $200 a year, or maybe more. That would make them re think their new SUV.

Compact cars could be $200

and SUV's an extra $100 a year for each additional square decameter that there car contains compared to the compact. Now THAT would make them rethink buying a new SUV.

Answer 8

How does your question make sense?

They are already doing something for the environment - like buying an expensive car because its emissions are lower - why should they be forced to pay more?
