The money will probably be used to subsidize more Somali Muslims.
ROFL!!!!!!
You can’t make this stuff up!
“by electric cars!!!! You’ll save the environment and money!!”
“you’re saving too much money!!! PAY!!!”
If it moves, tax it...if it doesn’t move subsidize it. Shit, his is just taxpayer money, so charge more fees so you can be able to pave more roads. Taxes are so good and good for you.
If it is “just” to tax gasoline, as part of paying for roads, then there is nothing wrong with expecting electric car owners to pay some sort of fee that makes an average comparable payment to helping fund the roads that electric cars need as well.
While it might be Libertarian pure to complain about charging to fee to electric car owners, there is nothing honest about doing so. The “users pay” concept of most of the funding for roads should NOT exempt electric car owners.
Either get rid of the fuel taxes and fund roads some other way entirely, or be honest and admit electric car owners should not be “exempt”. The former is not practical so the latter ought to be admitted.
Everyone who uses the highways need to pay something for there upkeep, including electric vehicles. In the NL in addition to gas taxes, an annual fee is charged based on on the weight of the car. Older cars (25 years and up are exempt)
Please $85 fair share? In PA the gas tax is .58 per gallon. Assuming even 40 mpg if you drive over 6500 miles per year you aren’t even close to fair share.
I read the comments at the site and most of them WANT higher taxes. It is only fair.... I bet there are no potholes on Minnesota roads as the tax collected allow the roads to be paved in gold.
