(JUST THE NEWS) – Incoming Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has suggested taxing Americans for the number of miles they drive, a policy he endorsed as a Democratic presidential candidate. The Biden Administration is actively searching for ways to fund its ambitious $1 trillion...

I can drive 20 miles to work in reverse.

The inconsistency and stupidity in Zhou Bi-den's policies speak for themselves.

Shut down gas pipelines, which will drive up the price of fuel.

People will then drive less and more efficiently by combining visits to different stores in one trip.

Then you tax the lowered mileage. Which will further decrease driving.

Overall you kill off your tax cow.

Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., acknowledged "privacy concerns" related to implementing a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) system but said it should be considered as


a potential replacement for the gas tax........ Never will happen

 

[Cooolone]

How does the Fed excise a tax for activity within a State? Not a chance... Slow down there you fucking socialist pigs!

Never in a million years will the states allow the big bad fed take what's theirs!!! Just sayin...

They'll just add it on top of gas tax. Tax on tax on tax.

Well fortunately for good old buttgig, a lot of people work remotely now. So it's a useless tax.

New York already does this to commercial vehicles. Look up Ton Mile Tax.

New York State highway use tax (TMT)

New York State Highway Use Tax (TMT) is imposed on motor carriers operating certain motor vehicles on New York State public highways (excluding toll-paid portions of the New York State Thruway).

A lot of states do. When I had my own truck 20 years ago, the H.U.T. (Highway Use Tax) in NY came out to about 5 cents per mile on average. That's on top of tolls and fuel taxes. At the time, I believe Oregon was the only state with a higher tax.

I would love to hear the rational for eliminating gas tax to add mileage tax. This seems ass backwards, it would favor those who drive less fuel efficient vehicles. Climate change is a key issue to the new administration you would think they would want to keep taxes on the gallon of gas.

 

[Blimey]

I’m driving 1500 miles/month right now on electric. Infrastructure is significantly funded through a gas tax. I’m contributing nothing with those miles. Legally.

Probably replacing my primary vehicle with a plugin hybrid this year so I’ll be paying less than a tank of gas per month.

If people want to fight the gov on this I hope they are successful

A person driving a 4000 lb EV right now does not pay a tax that In part funds roads.

The gas tax made sense when more gas consumed generally meant a larger vehicle and/or driving more. Hybrid and EVs don’t work with they equation.

whenthe electric hummer comes out the person driving that will contribute less to road infrastructure funding than somebody driving a corolla.

 

[Jmac00]

LOL, I thought Beijing Biden said he wasn't going to tax the middle class, LOL

I wonder how many sheep understand they are going to taxed out the ass, but their rulers aren't gong to explicitly tell them they're being taxed, and the sheep will just go along with it.

Same ..

 

[Acer-m14]

mileage tax on EV's seem right at 1k per mile ..

 

[Dr. Evil]

I can't say it enough. Fuck those that put Biden in office by their voting decisions.

Their *goal* is to reduce driving.

The tax money is the side effect.

Here's where the "magic electricity" used to run electric vehicles actually comes from. The majority of liberal Democrats believe electricity comes from a magic electron fairy who waves a wand and makes power plants light up.

I know some union hall skilled trades workers who depending on the job drive 90 minutes one way with their tools in their trucks for work. They think their union bosses who endorsed Biden are morons.

 

[Karpteach]

There are certain Socialist Countries that charge their “affluent“ citizens a yearly tax for owning a car.

 

[holdover]

It looks like a push into electric cars. As long as gas cars are cheap to run people will use gas right? Well, they can fix it so it isn't. Driving people into electric cars . the demand for electric cars go up.

Oregon floated a mileage tax since the rise of hybrid and electric vehicles cut into their Gas tax revenues. They even floated a bicycle registration because there are more bikers in the spandex mafia than cars on the road in Portland.

Bike tax is a bit much. I understand the road tax to pay for snow plows and pot hole repair, etc

I was there back in 1999, an Army exercise. What an amazing place. We were afforded a wonderful behind the scenes tour. I got the sit in the front seat of one of their dump trucks getting loaded and unloading, freaken awesome. I was like a kid in a candy store.

And what happens with the old batteries???

Maybe the same as old Turbine Blades>

A wind turbine comes to the end of its lifecycle after about 20 years. While there are ways to recycle the parts, most just get buried.
