Millage tax

Not great news for people that drive. That would include us i supose.
  • The way you collect the tax is having owners report the odometer reading at vehicle registration renewal. Tax is based upon miles driven and the weight/class of the vehicle. Place a huge penalty on incorrect reporting odometer readings and check the reported numbers when the title is transferred. Feds get a portion of the tax and states get the other portion.

    The problem with all taxes is the intended use of the money is often not how it is spent.

    The other options are to use electronic tolling on most roads or let the roads and bridges continue to decay.

    Yes, if they get rid of fuel tax then Im not quite as opposed to miles tax, but miles tax is very bad. very very very very very bad!!! wake up sleepers!
    govt does not need to be telling you when to stop driving...
    stop voting for fools.

    EV cars dont pay gas tax so of course the road funds will be lower. In reality EVs will never be sustainable, as good as it might sound to your woke opinion of things. They can tax EV cars and track it and throw you in jail for messing with the numbers. The scary part is as soon as they tax EVs they will be after your gas cars, and that is unstoppable. Stop it now!!!! !!!!

    Oil makes gas and diesel which we use for driving.
    Oil makes A TONE OF OTHER STUFF including asphalt, asprin, make-up, plastics, plastics, polymers, and thousands and thousands of other stuff made from hydro carbons. Without a place to sell the gasoline and diesel and propane that comes off the distillation process then it will not be economically feasible to keep distilling oil just for plastics or vasoline or other uses of hydro carbons, besides
    what would they do with the gasoline and diesel and propane that comes out of the process? You cant just dump it in our water supply like they do fluoride.
    Gas is here to stay.

    Aspirin is made from oil??? LOL
    Better check your source of info again.

    Anything made from oil can be made from Hemp plant including fuel and biodegradable plastics

    This is what everyone has been talking about! How are they going to know the miles we drive? They will want something in the car to track mileage.

    Good luck people!

    Every car has an odometer last time I checked.
    Here we need to report miles driven every year when renewing plate sticker,not sure why as the cost is always the same @ 120$ for com. truck
