A GPS unit tracks location. There are plenty of other devices that can track mileage and gas consumption. Satellite connections are not required for that.

I am not inclined to pay higher taxes. I am inclined to stop all of the friggen hidden taxes, and make 1 big tax. Then everyone can see how much it really costs to live here. Maybe some sanity will then come to our taxing and spending policies.
You think you got it bad? Try Canada. I calculated a while ago exactly what percentage of my gross income goes to taxes - not just the obvious ones, but hidden taxes too. For example we pay tax on tax with gasoline - taxes are included in the base price then sales tax is added to that. Most people don't realize that in Ontario there's a separate sales tax rate for liquor. I figure something like 65% of my income goes to various taxes, and I'm not in the highest tax bracket.
