PING!
Nice, so I can drive into PA, buy gas with no tax and drive right out. Nice!
No Governor. You first. Eliminate the tax as a precondition for talks.
So, PA uses the gasoline tax and turnpike fees for other things, then complains they do not raise enough money.
So they can phase out gasoline engines and gasoline stations. They’re moving us from a fossil fuel economy to a faerie dust economy. Everything will run on magic faerie dust in the People’s Republic of the America. Millions of American faeries will work day and night to ensure an adequate supply of their magic dust which you will simply sprinkle onto your Tesla vehicle and then say the magic words “meteslastock beaboomin”. At that time, you will be able to drive from the east coast to the west coast without ever worrying about your Tesla stock, I mean your Tesla car crashing or even slowing down.
EIB TRANSLATION:
Gov. Wolfe, one of our nation's worst governors, wants to increase taxes by switching to a new way to fleece people - say a nice tax on miles driven!
PA’s gas tax ($0.586) is highest in the Nation, followed by CA ($0.533. The author got it wrong.
Ping.
Yeah, so he can put in a blanket “mileage” tax, with their tracking your every spin of your wheel.
“Tom Wolf on March 12 proposed phasing out his state’s gasoline tax, the second highest in the nation, and appointed a commission to recommend alternative ways to pay for the state’s needs”
“alternative ways” TRANSLATION = ways $ which far exceeds the current fleecing via gas tax.
A while back I saw a story indicating that the Wolfman of Trans-sylvania wants to raise the state income tax.
Makes me wonder what other tax he will replace it with.
I am completely for eliminating the state gasoline tax. The last increase was to improve PA’s roads and bridges is a complete failure. That money went to many things other than roads and bridges. With that said, I don’t trust a damn thing the Tommie the Commie proposes. We need to throw him out of office and replace all the RINOs in the state legislature before we going about making tax cuts, that also correspond to massive budget cuts.
Bait and switch.
Will he tax tolls? A 10% tax on tolls, I guess...
Lets shell game taxes here in PA.
DemocRATS never willingly give up a source of taxation. Watch the other hand, because whatever replaces a gas tax will be much worse.
Infrastructure money coming down the pike?.
