But, seriously, how do you think they going to tax your mileage? I'll tell you how, they are going to keep track of you via a GPS unit installed in your car!

That's the whole plan. To keep track of our movements AND to decide just who gets to drive how many miles. (Shades of WW11 gas ration books.

I remember back in Carter's orchestrated gas 'shortage', I was living in Calif...the democrap senator from SAn Francisco, who had his own 5 car garage full of Mercedes, remarking that the common people didn't need to be driving around anywhere they wanted to. That is the mindset of the bourgeoisie - still. They really believe they should be controlling the daily lives of the proletarian peasants.)

Their highway miles money is collected from every gallon of gas we buy - it's where it goes and doesn't go from there that is the question.

I have a son who is a longhauler and he can tell when he crosses certain state lines because of the condition of the roads.

Indeed, I have even b een able to tell when talking with him on the cell (calm down, he uses a Blue Tooth) that I can HEAR it.

The common denominator?

Long time republican governed states - smooth roads and great truck stops. The money collected for roads ACTUALLY goes to the roads. What a concept.

Democrap run states: the opposite - like Pennsylvania and Illinois. Their roads are abominable. AND they have the highest gas tax, the most tolls, etc.

WE must NOT let this tax per miles get any traction. They've been trying for sometime.

LOL! Thinking about it, you’re absolutely right! Back when I was stationed at Offutt AFB, NE, I would routinely drive to the St. Louis, MO area to visit my family. I could always tell the moment I had crossed over from Nebraska to Iowa because the roads suddenly were like driving on gravel. Then, I could instantly tell the moment I hit the Missouri border because the roads were nice and smooth again.

Cheers

The only thing that sucks worse than driving in Illinois is driving on the New York Thruway (high tolls, faded road markings, potholes, bumps, many street lights don't work, people speeding).
