The Overlooked Cost of Electric Cars by EU Gov’t

Government first imposed taxes on alcohol and cigarettes under the claim that they were trying to make people stop for their own good. But as always, as the governments became addicted themselves to the tax revenue, then they looked to tax soft drinks in Philadelphia to prevent people from drink too much sugar, and New York tried to them impose a tax on electronic cigarettes. In New York, the Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo lived up to the Democratic motto – tax everything.

Government always pretends to be raising taxes to help people, but it is always a huge lie.
