So if you go offroad, do you get a credit? Time to fire up the bicycles.

Over a mileage tax? I personally think this tax is a stupid idea, and there are a lot of things the government is doing with which I strongly disagree, but revolution is a word that should not be tossed about lightly.

True enough...Say hello to a 50% federal gas tax:

You do understand that we are already taxed at 40-50% already?

This isn't a dictatorship or a banana republic. We have a lot of options for improving this country. Revolution should be a last resort, and in my opinion things are nowhere near bad enough for such a dramatic and devastating course of action.
I assume (hope!) that most of this is just overly dramatic hyperbole.

I wonder if any politician remembers Boston, sometime around 1776?

A revolution doesn't have to be violent or involve overthrowing the government with arms. It can also be a peaceful revolution which takes place every time we go to the voting booth. Instead of blindly voting for someone based solely on their political affiliation, we should show our displeasure with the government by voting those currently in office out of office. Elect people who will serve as our representative and the not the representative of the party they belong too. Vote against anyone who talks about keeping "their party" in power.
