Double Crossed By Debt Counselors. Many Consumers Have Found Themselves Defrauded by Companies Offering Debt Help – There are cozy seats in Hell waiting for these scammers.

States Mull Taxing Drivers By Mile – Not exactly a surprise that this idea comes from the appropriately named Left Coast.  Whenever I see stories like this, I can’t help but think of the part of George Harrison’s “Tax Man” where he says:

If you drive a car-car I’ll tax the street

If you take a walk I’ll tax your feet

The full lyrics to this still very timely song, courtesy of SeekLyrics.com

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

(If you drive a car car) I’ll tax the street
(If you try to sit sit) I’ll tax your seat
(If you get too cold cold) I’ll tax the heat
(If you take a walk walk) I’ll tax your feet

Taxman!

‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

Don’t ask me what I want it for
(Ah, ah, Mr. Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more
(Ah, ah, Mr. Heath)
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

Now my advise for those who die
(Taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes
(Taxman!)

‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman

And you’re working for no one, but me

 (Taxman!)
