Kinda proves everything Beck, Hannity, Boorts, and the smart people on the right have been saying, obamaturd is a socialist. What a hypocrite, wants gas saving cars and then realizes the government isn't going to get as much tax revenues so he floats a mileage tax. What an idiot.

That link goes nowhere.

BTW- imagine the paperwork involved with a "mileage tax". Another excuse to create yet more levels of buraucracy.

Why not just bump the fed gas tax another nickle.

White House disowns plan to tax car mileage - The Hill's Transportation Report

The proposal was included in a draft of the administration's Transportation Opportunities Act, but a White House spokesman said it "was not an administration proposal."

"This is not a bill supported by the administration," White House spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said. "This was an early working draft proposal that was never formally circulated within the administration, does not take into account the advice of the president’s senior advisers, economic team or Cabinet officials, and does not represent the views of the president.”

The legislation the White House is distancing itself from calls for creating a Surface Transportation Revenue Alternatives Office within the Federal Highway Administration. It would be tasked with creating a "study framework that defines the functionality of a mileage-based user fee system and other systems."

House Transportation Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.) has indicated that he did not think a tax-per-mile proposal was politically palatable, but said Congress would have to look for ways to supplement declining gas tax revenues.

I thought he campaigned on not raising taxes for anyone making less than $250,000 a year or something like that? Let's see him try to claim that this is only a tax on the rich.

Its more proof of what these progressives are all about. It may not pass but thats only because the House is Republican.

Americans need to be reminded what would be getting passed if the shitbags were in charge.

But no matter, he REALLY cares for the little guy. (what's another tax, just like he did with a 60 cent tax on a pack of cigarettes)... He's ONLY LOOKING out for YOU.

Yeah, and guess what? The first thing he did was raise taxes on cigarettes. Guess who smokes the most? The poor and lower middle class, but he never did say a word about raising taxes on goods and services.
We the voters have to start asking questions about this kind of things.
The 250,000.00 was Federal Taxes. Nobody asked him about taxes on products.

True, and now we can all tell them he lied when he said he wouldn't raise taxes on those making less than 250k-220k-200k

Another example of someone that has not worked for a for profit business in his life.
Obama-nice guy with a nice family. Has no clue about business or running the government.
20 months and he is going, going GONE.

Umm...what do you expect the "administration to say? Obama wants to get reelected right? The dems and Obama were pushing this Cap & Trade crap that would be a tax on ALL ENERGY PRODUCTION AND USE so because "the administrating denies it" means nothing
