State makes big fuss over local couple's vegetable oil car fuel

If the whole neighborhood has that smell how would I know I'm close to the Burger King? :huh:

If home heating oil and diesel fuel are close, why wouldn't WVO work with the same contraption hooked up?

How is this a 2nd Amendment issue? Should they have shot the government officials?

No, I am not advocating violence. Why is the state trying to collect a diesel or gasoline tax on a product that is neither diesel nor gasoline? I am suggesting that the state is harrassing and intimidating an elderly couple because they are percieved as defenseless.

 

I don't know the exact circumstances, but I am sure the issue revolves around road taxes. At the end of the day, regardless of the source of fuel, we are all responsible for paying road taxes. These taxes are used to maintain and build roads.

If this is the issue, then yes - this couple should pay the tax... that's it.
