If more money is needed for interstates and roads, what is the best way to raise those funds?
It has been 20 years since the federal excise tax was last increased.
The excise tax is collected at the refinery and is by far the most efficient point at which to impose and collect a federal tax to pay for roads, highways and bridges.
What would you propose? No you specifically, everyone reading this question.
Let local county ans state tax money on gas be used EXCLUSIVELY for roads.
“What would you propose? No you specifically, everyone reading this question.”
The money collected was intended to be used for roads and then the greedy Congress looked at that big pile of money and dumped it into the general fund to be squandered in trade for votes.
We ought to get the first bit of money back by taking every single thing those who voted the money into general fund own. Down to the shirt off of their backs. They should spend the remainder of their miserable lives living in a homeless shelter with absolutely nothing to call their own.
You think the refinery pays taxes?
