HA. R and I were talking about the pros and cons of the tax and I was saying that Gar's solution made the most sense. Then R remember this flick. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082642/

The plot summary is an absolute hoot:

It is the future. Evil fascists have forced everyone to recycle and drive electric cars, and have oppressed all those poor people who want to drive Ferraris and smoke cigarettes. Hero Lee Majors, an ex-racing car driver, decides to make a statement by pulling out his old race car and driving cross-country at 150 mph (he siphons gas from old gas station pumps). Taking along a young reform school geek in a vaguely homosexual subplot, he drives for the Holy Land the Free State of California! Of course, the Powers That Be try to eliminate him by hiring Burgess Meredith to shoot him down with a fighter jet, which, too, are virtually extinct.

The Free State of the People's Republic of California. Oh. My. How times have changed!
