Can anybody confirm how Fuel Taxes are charged are the a % of the cost of Gasoline and Diesel or are the Cents per gallon. If they are a percentage % of the price the Federal Government and State Government are cleaning up n the user when they are buying Gas or Diesel. I am a little confused on this. Can somebody confirm.
If its a percentage % then Obama is collecting lots of money from all of us and should stop crying about the high cost as he is the cause of the high cost. Dr. Chu wants $8.00 per gallon as the Federal Government is then making a big cash windfall from the tax collection.
Remember that electric vehicle are not paying for highways and bridges as they are not paying fuel tax.
Does the bill include placing more plates with raised metal ridges in sidewalks, so the blind know when they have crossed the street? This is one of the “shovel ready” projects they are doing in Louisville.
This is the mind of the central planner at work, imagining that Americans all want to live in his little utopia. …
Little Utopia... I’ve lived in several big cities over the years. Utopia? Not for me not even a dystopia, I hated it with a passion beyond belief. Even to the point of leaving a good job to take a lesser paying one in a place where I didn’t have to hear or ‘smell’ my next door neighbor.
So this idea of a one-size fits all lifestyle just will not cut it.
Laughable, considering the source ...
In cities like Los Angeles, commuters waste the equivalent of two extra weeks every year in traffic jams.
And a taxpayer in Baltimore needs to worry about this?
I love the "new thinking" as evidenced by the journal ...
Since part of the taxes on fuel are to go to highways.....where is this money going if not spent on highways? We need to get rid of the general fund and start spending money on items that tax money collected for.
This is because that is just the way them likes it.
It is not as if any private citizen can come out and patch the potholes themselves or something.
What are you gonna do? Complain? Pfffff, how much more state and local tax you’d like to pony up, eh?
I don’t see how making people pay up to a dollar per mile to drive (as they do now on a congestion-priced highway in California) is doing anyone any favors.
It probably makes more sense to simply kill the “mass transit” subsidies, but still our freeways free, rather than as a “revenue engine” to dish out crony money to well-connected people.
But maybe a Rick Perry supporter can tell me why I’m wrong.
