Everyone with a bro truck and SUV should be taxed to death.

You dont need that shit. 95% if Americans can do totally fine with a miata or a small hatchback. But Americans are idiots, see, and won’t buy those vehicles, and car mfgs stopped making them (for the most part).

And before Americans get upset, I live rural and drive a small hatchback or a 2 door car the large majority of the time. Meanwhile chad lives in suburban hell and has a lifted ferd fteenthousand with mud tires that touches less dirt than my hatch drives in 3 minutes.
