Many things that were once free now have taxes and fees attached to them. Look no further than our neighbor island of Oahu, where parking your car can cost $200-600 a month, and to go hiking on many nature trails they now charge a fee. <br /><br />Maybe big government won't get to tax our gasoline since we are using electric cars, but somehow, someway , some politician somewhere will introduce a bill to tax the sun, the rain and even the air we breath.See MoreJames Kimo Rosennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8653777241725644144.post-56422590648816331412011-08-11T21:06:54.783-10:002011-08-11T21:06:54.783-10:00via Facebook;"Davis D. wrote: "Certainly...via Facebook;"Davis D. wrote: "Certainly my TGI comments zeroed in on points of difference.
