Meanwhile, Tommie The Commie’s fellow travelers in Pennsylvania are proposing to do away with the $0.576/gallon gas tax and replace it with a mileage tax of $0.081 per mile.
This is nothing but a disincentive for anyone to “do the right thing” and drive a fuel-efficient, hybrid, or electric vehicle.
It will especially hurt low-income people who, because of their financial situation, buy smaller cars that typically get better mileage.
Right now, someone driving a car that gets on average 30 mpg and drives 10,000 miles per year will pay $190/year in gas tax. If these money-hungry libs get their way, that person will pay $810/year (a 426% increase).
These people are stupid.
It’s also worth noting that cars produce almost zero wear and tear on the roads. It’s all the heavy trucks.
Tommy the Commie’s tax is a gift to the major metros and a tax on the red bits of PA.
Deep State’s war on the ‘burbs and rural bits continues.
