And if anybody thinks they are going to substitute the mileage tax for the gasoline tax, dream on. That is simply a proposal to tax you twice. You will be paying the gas tax, AND the mileage tax, and be required to smile while doing so to keep Dear Leader happy.
The mileage tax is so idiotic idea, I am at loss why its even in the news.
If you drive more - you buy more gasoline - you pay more taxes. Simple enough.
Even more: cars with worse gas-mileage will consume more gas and will pay more taxes: so you are punishing less environmentally-friendly cars and reward more environmentally friendly cars. Isn’t what they want?
It’s elementary, Watson.
