The left is once again going after the automobile industry by calling for new taxes on the already overtaxed drivers of America. An economist at the Congressional Budge Office suggested that the Federal government would start charging people based on their mileage. This would be done in order to generate more revenues to spend on highway projects. They obviously don’t see the flaws in that plan.

Chad Shirley, CBO’s deputy assistant director for microeconomic studies, gave a presentation that shows federal gas tax revenues are falling short of federal spending on highway programs.

those tax dollars would work if you paid them to make the roads work… oh sorry, roads are free. America is socialist then? Or you pay for what you use, your choice
exactly, to free roads,…. because they taxed the air you breath right
For$#%&!@*s sake, will there ever come a moment when the government decides that the the citizens of this country are being taxed enough?
They already take over 30% in taxes each pay check
More revenue for the famous train that making California broke
Lmao! I see it makes perfect since your obviously a member of the Galactic Empire. The force is not strong in this one. Confused, oblivious and ignorant is he.
You steal your fuel? ^^^
