“Infrastructure Bill”, p.508: National Per-Mile Motor Vehicle User Fee

[colfax_m]

What do you not understand? It is a testing ground for implementing a new tax as in an ADDITIONAL tax to the gas tax. You are making an assumption that is in no way assumed in the bill.

And you’re not making an assumption that it’s a new tax without replacing the gas tax?

 

[Nostra]

And you’re not making an assumption that it’s a new tax without replacing the gas tax?

Because that is how it has been presented. Nothing about replacing any tax.

When was the last time the government eliminated a tax?

 

[DBA]

And you’re not making an assumption that it’s a new tax without replacing the gas tax?

No, I can't assume they are going to do something they didn't say they were going to do. You are assuming they are going to take the ADDITIONAL action of replacing the gas tax. I am going exactly by what was stated, with no assumptions.

Where was it stated they’re enacting a mileage tax?

 

[Dragonlady]

Pretty damned stupid if you ask me. No one would vote for that shit and the Dems are pushing it.

Sure hope this bill dies dead in the Senate.

Well then maybe you should vote for NO ROADS. You conservatives want to live in a first world country, well that costs money. You want all of these modern conveniences, which business demands but you don't want to pay for anything. And you don't want your corporations to pay for anything.

Taxes are your share of the costs of living in a first world country. The USA is no longer a first world country.

The Repubs raised Missouri's fuel taxes for the next ten years in a graduated scale.

thanks to democrats we are becoming a heavily in debt third world shithole

Mileage tax would replace gas tax. As more and more electric cars go on the road, the fewer people are paying the gas tax that keeps those roads maintained.

This is common sense guys.

Replace? Doubtful. The government never turns taxes off.

 

[daveman]

So you can just make up bullshit and expect me to believe it?

How about no.

Like you making up bullshit about the gas tax being repealed?

It's not the Democrats who keep cutting taxes and crashing the economy. It's the Republicans. 3 times in the past 40 years. A major crash has followed every tax cut as sure as night follows day.

You really are a pathetic troll.

We have a gas tax for roads, Dumbass.

You are full of shit.

 

[excalibur]

You can’t make this shit up. Now they want to tax you based on mileage on top of your gasoline and registration taxes. They get to determine your tax based on “environmental” impact and any other “social impacts”. In other words if your driving is racist.

This is a long-standing wet dream by American Marxists.

Force people into EVs, mileage tax. Forcing people into bigger and bigger cities is the goal.

Congress has looted the highway trust fund.

 

[Nostra]

Yep. Just like the SS "Trust fund".

Bingo. Their end goal is everyone living in small flats, paying rent to an oligarchy or directly to the state.

We expect this type of sorry destructive shit out of the filthy Democrats. Just wait to see how many weak RINO Republicans help to push this disaster through.

No matter how destructive the Democrats are you can always count on a few Republicans to help the Democrats be destructive.

We cannot free the nation of Democrats without first freeing the nation of RINOs and squishes.

 

[bendog]

why is a tax on road use replacing the gas tax to fund roads "destructive shit"?

And why would pretend libertarians be opposed to a tax on a non-mandated activity that is only levied on those who engage in it, and require an infrastructure to do it?
