Anyone want to bet with me that roads get worse, not better, if it's passed?

[nickcarraway]

Isn’t this what Bernie Sanders would call a regressive tax?

[nascarnation]

This has little to do with roads and a lot to do with union labor.

[Steely Tom]

I predicted this about two years ago.

[BenLurkin]

TAXED

ENOUGH

ALREADY

[Fledermaus]

Smelled this coming years ago.

[yuleeyahoo]

This is not about taxes but restriction of movement. Democrats lust for power is insatiable.

[Openurmind]

The “Whitehouse” can’t tax anything... Congress has to do that period. Where did the Constitution and separation of powers go?

[Josa]

Will all those amazon delivery vehicles be exempt?

[nascarnation]

I wonder how they will tabulate the miles for our older vehicles that don’t have electronics? I’m guessing mandatory inspections. Won’t that be fun?

[monkeyshine]

I hope bicyclists will pay their fair share!

[caww]

And they thought fighting against Trump wouldn't cost them!

[Paladin2]

I have some extra instrument clusters for some vehicles.

[monkeyshine]

Tell them you just got back from a year driving around Canada, or Mexico, or both.

[SaveFerris]

Democrats equal More Taxes

[metmom]

Ain’t going to happen.

The money will just disappear, just like so much other money the government gets its hands on.

[Helen]

That’s already being done with taxes included at the pump.

[Rurudyne]

Where is there a delegated power to levy a tax on miles traveled?

[marktwain]

This is a way to tax rural residents to support urban residents.

It is also a way to track every location on every mile of every vehicle.

It is part of Orwellian state control of every person's lives.
