Sure. Just give up all your privacy.

Exhibit 4,204 of ‘What happens when leftists get what they want.’
That would be great if you drive a vehicle that gets poor mileage. I wonder if semis are eligible.
I guess all of those green-minded, pro-big government, enviro-friendly taxpayers don’t mind not saving money by driving an electric car anymore.
The cyclists up there must be feeling pretty superior. I guess when the State decides that the miles taxed should apply to them, and pedestrians, then maybe they will understand what it is all about.
Nah. They’ll just find something else to blame. Not the government. Never the government.
REBEL. I will absolutely rebel against this, if it comes to my state, with armed civil disobedience if necessary. There is NO REASON for any government to have this data, except to take freedom.
Government!
Taxes are meant to modify your behavior, that’s what they are for. So a gas tax makes you want to use less gas, good for national security, good for Toyota, good for the polar bears, good for the angry sky gods, good for you. So you use less gas, and your masters decide that what they really wanted was for you to not go places at all! This is what you get for obeying your government masters.
How long before we start seeing stories about how badly this tax has impacted the working poor stuck driving older, less efficient cars 20 miles or so to the only job they can find? Did the green zealots even consider that?
If IT FEEEEEELs goooood.. Lettt’s do IT!!
Great way to track the public AND get your friends exempt from the tax - just remove their transponder ID from the database used to issue tax bills.
Basically the same thing they do for EZPass and automated traffic enforcement.
And if the per-mile tax were in effect, they would be advocating a per-gallon tax because a per-gallon tax would not be such an invasion of privacy, and a per-gallon tax would encourage people to get more energy-efficient cars.
No. I would pay $110 with the current per-gallon taxes, and $144 in mileage-based taxes.
5000 volunteers from Portland... the agenda is strong, indeed.
Hmmmmmmm. Does anyone know a company that makes a device that alters mileage on the car’s cpu? I need to make an investment in their technology
Do they get a discount at the pump?
I moved home to Oregon from Arizona in January, got my Oregon drivers license back, and was asked if I wanted to register to vote, which I declined. 2 months later they were automatically going to start registering everyone with a license. That pissed me off enough to move to Colorado. I haven’t gone in yet for my Colorado license and am curious as to whether I am an unwilling Republican or a Demo-Commie. The a-hole politicians in Oregon have really screwed up what was once a half-way decent state to reside in.
