The “green” drivers, who are using the same roads as everyone else, found a way to avoid paying the same amount of taxes, and now the State wants to get its pound of flesh.
Of course, the leftie media says the government is “punishing” these folks. They would never say that when states want to raise taxes on loose tobacco to make up lost revenue from people rolling their own cigarettes. Those people aren’t being punished, instead a “loophole” is being closed, so they can be made to “pay their fair share”.
Well have you seen what gubmint has done to the ecigarette folks? Making them out to be health hazards because FDA hasn’t approved them, same with the ALA nutjobs. Who were begging for something like this forever. Tax revenue losses.
