I'm betting they will be the first to tax the electricity you will use to charge your electric cars, you know it's coming.

You are right but it is not surprising or alarming. Government has normally taxed communication and also taxed vehicles used on public roads. What has happened is that the taxes were based on technology that has simply changed. Government looking for a way to catch up with technology.

Do I like taxes - no but they are necessary.
