I think this is much fairer than the additional 1% tax if you earned over $50K and did not have health insurance. Earning $50K in 1998 is not that same as eaning $50K in 2008. So if an offset to raising the medicare surcharge bracket to $100K is increasing the luxury car tax so be it.

How much in tax assistance has the motor industry grafted out of successive governments.
