liberals bent on killing the economy by any means
When the revolution comes everyone with “progress” in their names will be the first up against the wall.
Americans want watch the Center for American Progress beheaded on YouTube.
The lamp posts demand to be ‘decorated’.
The gas tax charges for the number of miles driven. You don't drive, you don't buy gas, you don't pay tax.
Geez, all those poor lefties who bought elcetric cars or hybrids are now going to have to pay anyway.
Fly-over country?
“We don’t need no stinkin’ Fly-over Country”!
/S
“The law of unintended consequences” bites again.
Name me ONE thing that the politicians and Government at any level doesn’t tax either directly or indirectly?
Enough I say! These people need to go on a tax diet and live within a reasonable income and budget.
“The gas tax charges for the number of miles driven. You don’t drive, you don’t buy gas, you don’t pay tax. “
I get 10 mpg. I pay four times per mile the driver of a Prius.
You make perfect sense. But clearly the liberals cant understand your logic.
Yep!
I’ve been looking at Kerry Bentivolio’s ROAR act but I’m not sure what to think of it. It sounds like he’s talking about doing away with the highway trust fund and selling highway bonds to each state to take them out of federal control.

This is a direct attack on those who live in rural areas and the exurbs as they must drive on the highways and for longer distances than city people who can use surface streets or mass transit.
At one time I would have laughed at anyone who thought this could ever happen. Well, I’m not laughing anymore.
Took my grandson for a walk in his stroller, and had the canopy up so he could get some sun. It occurred to me that I wouldn’t be surprised if that someday became illegal.
These people are REALLY asking for it.
Beward toll roads and mileage taxes.
Your ability to travel is at stake here.
These people will not be happy until they charge you enough you’ll give up your vehicle.
I don’t think people have any idea how much money is collected in gas taxes. Equally, I doubt they have any idea how much of that money is stolen to pay for other grand Leftist ideas.
It’s time we simply say no, to new taxation.
They get enough. The theft of our buck stops here.
How could mileage be verified?
Will this require an entire department of inspectors?
Will speedometer reprogramming become a felony offense?
Since they pay nothing toward roads via gas tax anybody with a coal-powered electric car should have to pay back the huge taxpayer subsidy they got and send it straight to the DOT.
