Forum: Internet Links Topic: Taxing your miles driven. started by: GORDON Posted by GORDON on Mar. 25 2011,18:25
I thought we already had this with a gasoline tax, but I guess the government keeps pushing these fuel efficient vehicles or something.< http://thehill.com/blogs....evenues > QUOTE The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) this week released a report that said taxing people based on how many miles they drive is a possible option for raising new revenues and that these taxes could be used to offset the costs of highway maintenance at a time when federal funds are short.

And it gives you an excuse to fuck around with an internal combustion engine. What more do you want?

I even remember a long time ago, he flew me over the local refinery so we could see what those tanks looked like on top. Pre 9/11, of course.

I drive 80 miles a day. But hopefully they'll exempt fuel efficient cars or something.

Then people who pay more gasoline taxes get double slammed. Spread the pain, I say. In fact, people with electric cars don't pay any gasoline tax, yet they still use the roads. Target them specifically with a road usage tax. Posted by Malcolm on Mar. 26 2011,17:48
They want to save the roads? How about public transit that doesn't suck balls?

Target them specifically with a road usage tax. Ah, but 90% of my commute is on a toll road. I'm already paying for the privilege of driving on it. So at a minimum I should be able to deduct the tolls ($120 a month on average). |
