There's a per-mile vehicle tax buried in Biden's infrastructure bill

More punishment for the poor and working class. If you work for a living, the DemoKKKrats hate you.

Wow. The trucking industry is going to be punished for transporting all the Made in China junk across the country. A national tax for driving?

You will soon be Canada. We pay massive taxes at the pump and have for years.

Did you contact your congressman and senator to make sure it was stripped from the final bill or just gripe about it to raise awareness?

What fair method of taxing electric vehicle owners for road maintenance do you propose? Gas vehicles should be exempt. imo.

It’s a voluntary pilot program. It’s dishonest to omit this extremely relevant detail.

Have you?

Yes, it’s a pilot program, because they intend to never implement it fully?

Gas vehicles are not exempt in this program.

That's funny. They will just charge more. Guess who pays.

We expect the idiot Democrats to vote for the stupid bill but what is really disgusting is that there will be enough Republicans to vote for it to get it passed.

Thanks Captain! As I said, they "should be", imo. That's double taxation. Whereas electric vehicle will not be paying the gas tax only the per mile. Not fair to charge the combustion engines vehicles twice.

How about a surcharge on their registration? Why do your solutions always hurt poor and working people the most?

I think bus riders should pay a tax. Buses cause tons of damage to roads.

Tax them extra for their electricity.

I don't think it will be in the final bill, as it is. I am not the one that keeps bringing it up on the board for the last few days.
They keep calling the infrastructure deal Biden's infrastructure bill, but it is not possible he wrote it or even has read all 1500-1700 pages (depending on who is counting). There is stuff for everybody to love and everybody to hate, but needs to be addressed and passed with corrections, deletions and amendment, just like any other bill. Being for a bill is like voting for somebody for an office. Only a partisan moron is going to like every single thing they do or hate every single thing they do either, for that matter. Having something you don't like does not mean the bill or person is bad, as you never get everything your way. Most people get used to this over 50 or 60 years. The rest just aren't too bright or haven't been around.

Poor folks don't have to register their vehicles where you're from or what? What if they only drive 10 miles a week. They'd be paying a hell of a lot per mile compared to someone who drives 500 miles a week. I think the only equitable choice is either per mile or per watt(s)

50¢ per gallon road tax ... 20 miles per gallon ... math it ... 2.5¢ per mile ...

A few states use some manner of weight/mileage tax on the heavier trucks ... the ones that tear up the roads ... not sure why that system wouldn't work at the Federal level ... better to reduce the Federal authority over roads, let the individual states decide themselves what roadwork needs to be done, and let the individual states decide what and how to tax the road users ...

Buy local if you don't want to pay that price ...

I think they already do.

I agree

Got to love Democrat 'transparency'.....

The f*ers are always slipping in BS, trying to ge away with what they know the vast majority of the public would rebel against and keep them from getting away with. they do not 'represent' us - they are continuously attempting to screw us.
