And now, for the rest of the story:

In an unholy marriage between Big Brother and the Tax Man, the Dutch government will now be monitoring, via GPS, every driver in every car in the country for purposes of taxation.

The Cabinet approved a bill Friday calling for drivers of an average passenger car to pay a base rate of euro0.03 per 1 kilometer (7 US cents per mile), beginning in 2012. Drivers of heavier, more polluting vehicles will pay more, and the cost will go up for driving in peak hours.

Allegedly, this is to reduce congestion and, of course, "carbon emissions." Seems every scheme for saving the Earth comes down to giving up more freedom and more money to the Government.

The Dutch people acquiesced to this scheme in exchange for reductions in other automobile related taxes. But, guess what's written into the law...

The tax will increase every year until 2018 and could be adjusted if it fails to change traffic patterns.

Suckers.
