How much gas do you buy for your week whacker or leaf blower in a year?
I think I might by 2 gallons a year for all my 2 stroke yard tools
You are out of your mind. The GOP is the party of lower taxes while the Dems want them to be higher and they will look for any possible way to tax us more. To deny that is to deny reality. GOP = less taxes and less spending. Democrats = more taxes and more spending. Maybe you should write that down.
This infrastructure bill was not claimed to be free???Are you lefties still buying the lie that the Trillion dollar spending bill is free?
Dumb shits.
This infrastructure bill was not claimed to be free???
The tongue twisting Build Back Better bill, is the claim of being paid for...nothing added to the debt.
I despise all taxes. I'm sure rino rs love taxes. They're just libs.
Overview. The Highway Revenue Act of 1982 has now passed into transportation industry folklore as a tri-
umph of bipartisanship – a Republican President who had recently passed the largest tax cuts in living mem-
ory joined with a Democratic House of Representatives and a Republican Senate to more than double (from
4 cents per gallon to 9 cents per gallon) federal motor fuels taxes and to use that money to provide large
increases in federal spending on highways and bridges and, for the first time, to provide a permanent federal
role in funding urban mass transit. Crumbling infrastructure would be repaired; jobs would be created; and
economic recovery would be advanced. As the legend goes, people of goodwill in both political parties saw a
great national need and came together to find a politically challenging, bipartisan, common-sense solution.
The reality is a bit messier.
Republicans love gasoline taxes and other consumption taxes because they fuck over working people more than other income demographics. So do Democrats, but Republicans especially love them and VAT taxes. Reagan also sicced the IRS on waitresses. lol
only the House can raise taxesThe only Year Reagan didn't raise taxes was in 1988. By then he raised taxes to higher rates than he started to almost 3% of the GDP. The only people who think this is 'bullshit' are those who can't read.

What? There's 7 million registered vehicles driving on roads in Los Angeles, maybe 1,500 in a rural community now who's doing most of the damage to roads and bridges?As it should since those people travel on roads more often and for longer distances.
And they pay the gas taxes like every other person who drives.What? There's 7 million registered vehicles driving on roads in Los Angeles, maybe 1,500 in a rural community now who's doing most of the damage to roads and bridges?
Nice deflection, we are discussing the Dem proposed mileage tax and how that hurts the rural poor and middle class. Now use your brain, while drivers in Los Angeles are only traveling a few miles they are actually on the roads densely packed together bumper to bumper for 4 hours a day. That does damage not reflected in the mileage.And they pay the gas taxes like every other person who drives.
For one it's not a proposed tax yet it's merely a program to study the feasibility of a tax other than the gas tax to fund the upkeep of roads.Nice deflection, we are discussing the Dem proposed mileage tax and how that hurts the rural poor and middle class.

Sure it is. Tell us will the tax be revenue neutral simply replacing taxes lost to electric vehicles not paying gas taxes or a huge net tax increase? Dems are involved so think carefully before answering.For one it's not a proposed tax yet it's merely a program to study the feasibility of a tax other than the gas tax to fund the upkeep of roads.
There is no bill currently in Congress to establish the mileage tax. This is just another government committee exploring the tax.Sure it is.

So you are saying that the working poor and the poor will be flush in cash by this piece of legislation. And I can not believe that many red semi rural and rural areas of states that are blue will enforce this.This infrastructure bill was not claimed to be free???

Bingo.They are exploring ways to recoup the revenue lost when more people are driving electric cars
It's an infrastructure bill, and most Americans will benefit from it! I live the rural life, and broadband internet expanded to where I am at would be helpful....Airports improved would also be a perk, and securing our electric grid we would also benefit from, and money for port authorities to improve delivery of goods to our stores would help us and Nation as well....I'd love to see a natural gas line or hub for up north so we'd have a choice on heating, other than oil and wood.... Our schools up here sure could use upgrading too....So you are saying that the working poor and the poor will be flush in cash by this piece of legislation.
