The next tax. The Mileage Tax

[Katzndogz]

Fresh from victory with the passage of the obamatax, democrats are ready to fight for the next tax. The mileage tax.

Seems like all those fuel efficient cars are cutting into gas tax revenue so a new tax is needed.

Mileage tax a "practical option," budget analysts tell Congress - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

The Obama administration wants to spend $556 billion over the next six years on transportation projects, but they may have to get creative to pay for them. One "practical option" could be taxing drivers based on their mileage, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is reporting.


The CBO has released a report on a potential mileage tax at the behest of Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad (N.D.), the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, the Hill reports. While tracking mileage was once considered infeasible, the CBO concluded that new technologies have changed that.


"Now, electronic metering and billing are making per-mile charges a practical option," the report said.

This country doesn't have long to last. Europe WILL implode, and so will we. There will come a point when we can't pay the interest on our debt, and all these taxes will kill ALL business and bleed the people dry, and America will implode, and it's not that far off. It's going to get worse before it gets better... MUCH worse, like Civil/Revolutionary War/Anarchy worse.

You what new technology that is? All new cars have cell phones with tracking tech built into them. Don't believe me? Research it for yourself.

I'm not talking about a slick cell phone that mounts on your dash that YOU can use, no no no. I'm talking about one that is put in an area you don't see and can't get to.

You guys already know about that electronic "Easy Pass" system for Tolls right? Well just imagine one being built into your car at the factory and as a condition of sale you have to activate it on the showroom floor.

"Easy Pass" will soon be "Easy Fleece".

I expect any day now to hear that the government has put a tax on sex. With the way the government is screwing us, they could take in some real money with a tax on sex.

 

[Katzndogz]

That's new cars. There will have to be some way of dealing with old cars that don't have that technology. Those owners will have to have them installed, probably as a condition of registering the car.

Unless the government mandates that everyone buy a new car.

the reason being is that truckers underfund the very roads they use to make money. Here where I live the county wanted to put a tax on the people for the waterway that is used for floats and swimming, camping, but the camp sites around here volunteered to pay the tax because they considered that they were the ones using the public access and patrolmen for their profit. In NW Ark they were going to put up a mileage tax, but the trucking firms told the govt. they would pay it since they benifited from the roads.

Legalize prostitution and tax it. All the whores that don't include the tax can be prosecuted for income tax evasion.

Ok, well let me know when the sky falls, I wouldn't want to miss it.

(see highlight above^) And your brain somehow is not willing to comprehend the FACT that any costs added to the transportation of goods to market WILL result in YOU paying more for those goods AT the market. Do you honestly believe those costs wont be passed along to consumers (YOU)? You are living in a dreamworld if you do.

That's Mayor Antonia Villaraigosa's view. The cities will become mega high rises where people can either walk to work or take a short shuttle. Move people out of the suburbs and back to the cities where the suburbs can be returned to natural habitat.

well a centralized population is far easier to control than people looking to be free of such constraints.

ammo tax.
Handguns would have to be registered and a new tax would be imposed on ammunition sales under bills approved Wednesday by the Illinois House Executive Committee.

With Democrats voting “yes” and Republicans “no,” the committee approved House Bill 5831, which requires handgun owners to register their weapons with the state. The bill is an initiative of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanual.

The Executive Committee frequently approves gun bills that are later defeated in the full House.

[Desperado]

Will be here soon. The irony of this is that will the Government has been telling people to use less fuel and to get rid of their gas guzzlers and buy fuel efficient cars. People have been listening,
and have been using less fuel this actually hurts the government. The Federal tax on a gallon of gas is approximately 43 cents. The profit for an oil company on a gallon of gas is approximately 8 cents.
With people using less fuel, because they have an efficient high mileage car or they don't drive as much because they cannot afford the gas or because they don't have a job to go to any longer, the government is losing money. They need to find a way to make up for that loss. Mileage is one way to do it. Some states are even looking at ways to incorporate a GPS in their license plates to charge drives by the mile. Just a matter of time

Always hoping, aren't you.

 

[Old Rocks]

Tell you what. Let's just let the states decide about the tax on vehicles. And those states that decide they want neither a mileage tax, or gas tax, just abandon the Interstates that are in those states. As a matter of fact, why don't we just abandon the Interstates in all the states that recieve more from the Federal Government than they put in.
