What’s next, simply driving through the city on a public road would get you taxed a percentage of your income.

Close. Places like New York City have tried to implement "congestion pricing" in addition to any gas tax or tolls you've already paid while the locals, who don't cross the margin lines, don't pay the "congestion pricing" fee.

Most of these cities have hotel and entertainment taxes that are aimed at tourists. Tax someone for services they never receive such as education spending, public works, government, law enforcement, etc.

The corrupt Democrat bastard politicians in the city would try that. Anything to get their sticky fingers on more cash.

Why not tax truck drivers delivering goods inside the city?

They probably copied this little trick from New York.

You might remember that they tried to tax Rush for years after he moved to Florida to escape NY’s taxes.

I believe that NY audited Rush every year until his death.

What’s next? A “Congestion Tax” similar to that imposed upon citizens who commuted by car in London, England? NYC has one. Relatively easy to impliment, too with EZ Pass and Digital Traffic Cameras everywhere.
