So the same people who are pushing electric cars now think that electric car owners aren’t paying they fair share.
My fave so far was a tax on unrealized capital gains.
“You might make money... tax that!”
show me your odometer or go to prison for tax evasion. how nice.
This will be like most other new tax schemes: the mileage tax will be imposed, but the gas tax will remain.
“Granted, big cars use more fuel than small cars, but shouldn’t small cars pay less anyway? They impose less wear and tear on the roads after all.”
Nope. It is the trucks that damage the roads.
more paper work and regulation.
Remember they were going to finance Obamacare by requiring you to file 1099 forms for every dollar of your expenses.
A bureaucratic nightmare. time consuming and expensive.
These climinidiots don’t or conveniently realize that powering electric cars is going to take a lot of energy. I guess unicorn farts will fill the gap. And they will produce that gas by eating dollar bills growing on trees.
Too many taxes.
Too many laws.
Where are the alternative ideas for taxes? I am dead set against the current tax code and this new tax proposal. It is just more of the same. But Republicans don’t talk about reforming the tax code and fiscal policy in general. Sure they will cut taxes. But cutting taxes is not true tax reform. They never cut government - that’s the other side of the revenue problem. How about this? A tax code that requires everyone to pay the same rate. Requires zero filing by individuals. Provides the same rules for all businesses, large and small. Allows businesses to prepare their taxes in 15 minutes and without the aid of a tax accountant and tax attorney. Lastly, simply cut government by 80%. Get rid of it.
Worse is that Buttigieg will mandate that all male drivers must rear end each other at every opportunity.
The Biden Admin thinks electricity is free ?
One, two, three, four
One, two... (One, two, three, four)

This is NOT about taxing miles driven. After all, taxing the fuel that permits those miles to be driven already does that, though indirectly.
This IS about erecting an excuse for vehicle tracking. As if they don’t have enough ways to do that now what with phone tracking, traffic cameras and who know what else.
Hmmmmm?
>>>24.4 cents per gallon of Diesel. Mayor Pete’s proposal is to move to a tax on miles driven, rather than fuel consumed.<<<
At this rate now paying over 6¢ per mile!!
IF that mileage tax ONLY applies to electric cars-—fine...
But those of us who already pay gas taxes & then drive are going to pay heavily.
My neighbor drives 500 miles commuting each week. That alone is 26,000 miles a year.
It is complete punishment for rural dwellers.
Pete says, “Get ready to bend over!”
