"But, seriously, how do you think they going to tax your mileage? I'll tell you how, they are going to keep track of you via a GPS unit installed in your car! "

The GPS would be unconstitutional, but it would be efficient. Have you ever known the federal government to do anything efficient?

So, I predict they'll create the Department of Federal Mileage Inspection. That should be good for 15-20K SEIU jobs. Every year, you'll be required to get your mileage inspected, where you'll also have to pay an annual inspection fee and whatnot.

Ever hear of rolling back odometers?

Used-car salesmen do it every day.

The GPS method will allow certain exemptions for poor, businesses, UNION MEMBERS........................

Milegae waivers! I predicted it here three months ago!

The gubmint already gets you on gas, healthcare, food, jobs programs, energy use, etc.....The only thing left was a milegae tax or gasoline vouchers for the disadvantaged.

that technology is already in place. Long haulers now are on electronic logs - and GPS keeps track of their 'square footage'. the system can even tell if they brake too hard. They know exactly where they are - like I said, to the square foot - at any time.

don't swallow the bilge that this is about the miles we drive! It's about TRACKING US! The reason these Socialists get away with taking over our lives, drip-drip-drip, is because the sheeple (fundamentally honest themselves,) naively swallow their hype. With these people, you ALWAYS have to watch OTHER hand.

Already possible-at least in Texas because of our annual safety inspections. Went on-line to get auto ins quote for car ins which was due to expire shortly after my inspection. Up popped a picture of my car in my driveway with my mileage which was only off by about 100 miles with a question: “Is this the car you want to insure?”

They'll probably track your millage through state inspection stickers.
But I think that would violate some State issues.
