It’s a new tax in addition to the taxes we already pay, and by doing per mileage it punishes those who have to drive farther to work, as Voting Map shows that would be those rural RED STATES WHO VOTE CONSERVATIVE....ex: Texas, Wyoming, SC, GA, TN etc. While most BLUE STATE ARE DEM with large public transportation....so you see how that works.
That “tea party” of Santelli’s may be the beginning of the Revolution.
We will now have loads of taxation but no decent representation.
Exactly. 120-130 miles between 'major' towns, no bus service except along I-94, Amtracke east and west along the Grand Forks to Williston corridor, and air travel, otherwise you drive. That is North Dakota, and just one State. But I'd bet the taxicab people in the Northeast are going to find that mileage tax factored into their fares.
Next question, what are they going to charge trucks? Nothing? Same per mile? (If so, everything, and I mean everything is going up in price.)
I read they plant to rescind the gas tax and replace it with this one. Of course, whenver has a dem ever rescinded a tax they are already collecting?
Most of Obama’s supporters drive less than five miles a day.
