You can impose taxes for example.

I cannot wait for that one to work it's way through the legal system.  It clearly is a tax, so they will have to jump through quite a few hoops if the US decides not to play ball.

I cannot stomach that racist wanker Ken for many reasons:

His none-too-subtle playing of the race card to pander to the Islamist and Islamist apologists whose votes he depends upon.

His ability to close his eyes to blatant corruption.

His lying about his alcohol problems

etc etc etc

He's an irritating tosser with a horrible whiney voice and needs to be given the boot ASAFP. Even Boris with all his faults would be an improvement.

Tax. noun
1) a sum of money demanded by a government for its support or for specific facilities or services, levied upon incomes, property, sales, etc.

Presumably the service is 'reduction of congestion' although I regularly drive through the taxation zone, and traffic levels seem to be about the same as they were before the tax was introduced.
