Someone needs to explain just exactly how much revenue is raised by use taxes.
ie Ohio- Combined with federal taxes, drivers will pay 56.9 cents per gallon on gasoline and 71.4 cents on diesel fuel
The average driver gallon per year is roughly 700 gallons.
Depending on how much the gov. adds on for tax, a .30 cent rise in taxes would mean an extra $210 per person per year added to their gasoline bill
multiply that by roughly 250 million licensed drivers or so, = an additional $52,500,000,000 for the government
How much will they raise taxes? They will do it in the name of ‘saving the planet’ to justify the rise- and the sheeple will oooh and awwww over how conscientious the new administration and ilk are, and gladly pay the increase-
