What if the mileage tax passed and the taxes were collected...here is breakdown:

Well I heard one state was proposing 1 cent pr .25 mile, which would work out to 4 cents per mile, and for 10,000 miles that would be $400.00 per year.

Now this is a punishment of conservatives, because if you look at the voting map the RED STATES are more rural, and the BLUE STATES are more larger cities and closer together. That means the Conservative States will pay more mileage taxes, since people like Biden who ride the train and use more public transportation will pay none. Inner city people on welfare and subsidized housing rents will pay none.

Now add that to the irresponsible people who will get their mortgages reduced as well as payments/interest, it looks like the conservatives will be paying the bills for the others, and that people is REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.

This may have already been mentioned, but there is/was a trial run in Oregon.

Let me see....Economy is down the crapper and Congress wants to impose taxes that will discourage travel. Brilliant!

The consequence of driving results in spending money or making money. Congress doesn't like that apparently.

This would certainly be a boon for a certain class of automotive technician who can “adjust” odometer readings...

How would this law be enforced? How would mileage be controlled?

next thing they’ll cap the amount of miles, and tax us double if exceeded. anything’s possible with this rogue liberal atmosphere.

Who drives one-fourth of a mile? I guess 4 cents sounded like too much, so they think this will go over better with the people. Keep it up, Dems. Everything you do just makes us loathe you more.

Absolutely.

It is also anti rural and pro city. What do they plan on eating once they get rid of all the farms and those who work on them.

This plan might work for small countries in Europe which are the size of our States, but it sure doesn’t fit the sprawling greatness of the US of A.

“President Barack Obama will not adopt a plan to tax motorists based on how many miles they drive. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs commented about Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s proposal to tax people by how many miles they drive instead of raising the federal gasoline tax. Friday, Gibbs says the tax will not be the policy of the Obama administration.”

I’m late posting this and I don’t know if it’s been said already but the People of Oklahoma have no desire to pay this tax. If we become sovereign, we wont have to.

Support sovereignty movements in your state.
