When/if we go to electric vehicles, they’ll need to make up for gas taxes. States will want to do it too.
Gonna suck for us rural people. It’s 50 miles round trip to a town for us.
This isn’t about collecting revenue, it is about control. Taxing people per mile would require installing a massive infrastructure to track vehicles and sensors in the cars. There is no way that this predatory government will trust Americans to voluntarily report their odometer mileage every so often.
There are much more efficient ways of raising revenue than this approach.
