It’s a new tax in addition to the taxes we already pay, and by doing per mileage it punishes those who have to drive farther to work, as Voting Map shows that would be those rural RED STATES WHO VOTE CONSERVATIVE....ex: Texas, Wyoming, SC, GA, TN etc. While most BLUE STATE ARE DEM with large public transportation....so you see how that works.

Exactly. 120-130 miles between 'major' towns, no bus service except along I-94, Amtracke east and west along the Grand Forks to Williston corridor, and air travel, otherwise you drive. That is North Dakota, and just one State. But I'd bet the taxicab people in the Northeast are going to find that mileage tax factored into their fares.

Next question, what are they going to charge trucks? Nothing? Same per mile? (If so, everything, and I mean everything is going up in price.)

What if they don’t exempt trucks, just what will that do to cost of goods and transportation or shipping???
These people are out to ruin America, plain and simple, whether they realize what they are doing or not. And if they don’t realize it, then what the he$$ are they doing running this country...if they can do this much damage in one month, just what will they do in four years?

Yep, and prices going up in the current climate just means our economy spirals down further & further as people drive & buy less. I really think some of the a@@hats in DC WANT to destroy this country.
