"Big Brother" coming to the Netherlands?

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1

I know we have a lot of people here from the Netherlands. Is this true? How do you feel about it? I don't think attaching a government mandated GPS device to every car and tracking everyone's every move would go over too well here in the US.

The Dutch government said Friday it wants to introduce a "green" road tax by the kilometre from 2012 aimed at cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 10 percent and halving congestion.

"Each vehicle will be equipped with a GPS device that tracks how many kilometres are driven and when and where. This data will be then be sent to a collection agency that will send out the bill," the transport ministry said in a statement.
