Quoted: This is rather anger-inducing and frustrating. TL:DR - Pete Buttblug and the Xiden administration are looking into a "tax-per-mile" scheme since the requirement for fuel-efficient vehicles is causing Americans to burn less fuel, thereby paying less fuel taxes. https://justthenews.com/government/white-house/incoming-transportation-sec-buttigieg-suggests-taxing-americans-amount-miles Incoming Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has suggested taxing Americans for the number of miles they drive, a policy he endorsed as a Democratic presidential candidate. The Biden Administration is actively searching for ways to fund its ambitious $1 trillion infrastructure plan. Fuckers just gave a trillion dollars or more away in that stimulus bill. |

Actually this makes some sense. Fuel taxes are used to fund highway construction and maintenance. Since people are using less fuel, the revenue stream is decreasing. The model no longer works. This would be a more equitable. Right now the guy who has to drive a gas guzzler pickup truck gets screwed. The guy driving a Tesla doesn't pay anything, yet may drive many more highway miles.

In a way something similar is already happening on a state level. I have to pay an extra fee something like 100 or 150 for my Tesla and wife’s Fusion Energi. The state wants to collect its road tax somehow. An additional kick in the nuts if we aren’t driving those I’ve got a diesel truck and she has a big passenger van. Both use a lot of fuel, therefore we pay a lot of state gas tax. They’re getting us either way. Now the feds want some too
 ETA that fee is added to the yearly registration $150 for my electric and $50 for her plug in hybrid |

I have warned you about socialist car taxes. (I.e. $8 gas, 75% sales tax, 3-4k yearly road tax on american style cars)
Ironically over here it mostly affect poor POC and single mothers in the sense that they can't really run a car. Yet The bumpy stock/mean twatters choose to let the Socialists in. Oh the milage tax is done with a box you have to mount in your car. Not having said box with trigger systems. Sorry about that. |

The fun part of this is that the fuel tax is going to nail the lower class workers hard. It won’t affect me much since I am working from home and maybe going through a tank of gas a month. But your poor food service and retail workers are going to get hit hard.

But a hybrid, pay more for the hybrid, then a tax for buying the vehicle and not using gas. They did away with it eventually but it speed the hypocrisy and stupidity of government. |

"I think all options need to be on the table, as you know, the [federal] gas tax has not been increased since 1993, and it has never been pegged to inflation, and it's one of the reasons why the current state of Highway Trust Fund is that there's more going out than coming in,"
