If this takes some people off the road, it may not be too bad. Our roads are in bad shape and are overcrowded. Fewer cars on the road when I am wouldn’t hurt my feelings.

Don’t we already pay per-mile user fees in the form of gasoline taxes?

The long term goal is to make all driving so expensive that only the elites can drive in their chauffeur driven limousines.

Everybody else will be crammed into urban high rises using crowded, filthy and crime-infested mass transit.

Electric vehicles also have miles driven per year. This is as much a slap in the face of EV drivers as it is to ICE drivers.

Tp force you into the ‘foot-mobile’

ALL social and geographic mobility will be a thing of the distant past, comparable to serfdom...and comparing unfavorably!

We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.. ~George Orwell,

A mobile society is more free to vote with its feet. Or wheels.

Deep State don’t like that.

I’ve been becoming convinced that federal taxes are not for collecting revenue, but rather for controlling behavior and social outcomes. Otherwise the government could just fund itself by printing more money.
