Mileage Tax

[Mags]

I heard on the news last night that sometime in the future, they won't have enough money to fix the roads in California, so someone purposed a MILEAGE TAX.....WHAT THE xxxx! as if we don't pay enough at the pump they have to start taxing us for driving to work? If this bill goes through, I'd get the xxxx out of California.

Discuss.

It would actually replace the gasoline tax. I heard they're doing it because of new hybrid cars that get great mileage are cutting into gas tax revenue. This way you get screwed whether or not you drive a gas guzzler. I suggest they privatize roads and institute user fees on highways and bridges and such to replace all taxation.

it would surely get the morons who dont need to be on the road off....but again, if it is true, and does go through there will be exemptions such as, work and school tax credits.

i doubt it will, since our governator said he won't raise taxes..

I've been hearing about all cars being made w/ a black box inside. So now when you drive by a toll the radar automatically bills your Visa. Or if a cop cant see ur license, he just gets the information for ur car. Just like the RFID chips. But for your car.

Whatever they do, I hope they don't adopt the dumbass system in IL where you have to stop every few miles on the freeway and drop coins in a bucket for the gate to open.

If that was the case, I'd just yank out the odometer and reset the milage at the end of each year.

So much for the myth that government can provide roads, much less efficient ones. The illusionary 'public fund' is depleted and on credit. Privatize now.
