This isn’t a ploy to pay for it. $6trillion dollars in pork and this so they can make endroads into restricting personal liberty.
“Ah helped!”
It won’t pay the bills.
And yes, people with electric cars should have to pay road taxes. But don’t tax my home’s electricity and don’t make gasoline powered drivers pay twice (with gas taxes and mileage taxes).
Call your senators.
Key West and Vail are good examples. The people who work there cannot afford to live there, and have to drive 30 miles to work each day each way.
True but this isnt going to be applied only to EVs.
My wife asked me how will they know? My response, your cell phone will report on you. Your Nav unit will report on you. Your nanny state State Farm transducer will report on you. Your OnStar will report on you. Your Sirius/XM radio will report on you. Your SunPass Transponder will report on you. Your dealer/auto service company will report on you.
BTTT!!!
What, fuel taxes and tolls are not enough?
To me, this would be a start-the-revolution moment.
Some states are really at the point of diminishing returns when it comes to the gas tax. They recognize that their gas tax is so high that any increase in the tax will actually generate LESS revenue.
They should tax pedestrians, bicyclists, wheelchairs, ect, anything that moves. Sidewalks and bike paths cost money too. One simple vaccine chip will track every inch of movement. I don’t know who could be against that.

Pretty much.
Please keep me posted!
What should I call them?
If I disconnect my car’s speedometer cable and run it backwards enough with a drill, to show that I drove a negative number of miles, will they pay me?
Democrat better have their cheating in order because few people are going to vote for them.
It’s all part of the Great Reset organized by hardcore Marxist Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum.
Well they have to come up with some scam to pay the 3.1 Trillion pork filled Bill.
Of course no one bitching about this should ever forget “we” put these “representatives” in office.

Does this even need a /sarc tag?
For those who don’t know .....
Sarcasm definition is - a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain.
“wonder how the elites will get around this”
Elites don’t care, they have money. I’m no elite but it won’t change my driving at all. It will make me angry, but they make me angry on a daily basis.
When the d-voting spouse asks when (if) there is ever going to be a vacation, I am going to bring this article up.
Other than the job, I barely go anywhere. That’s 60 miles give or take every day. I can sort of work from home to a point but that’s rare given how my friends break things.
Just about everybody with a handful of exceptions has about a 20 - 40 mile drive to the place in the woods.
I’m half looking for a more work from home type job or something with a little more flex. Who knows?
