Sounds like a great idea to tax the wealthy in those areas and use it to fund the public services like roads that they force their employees to use to drive to work.
And maybe some public transit too so you don’t need to use a road. Or a car. Freedom of choice and all that.
But yeah, they’re gonna try to tax them more and more because we certainly couldn’t gain energy independence, oh no no.
Wonder when the solar tax comes in. Gotta tax the sun for giving the plebians free energy. Damn commie sun.
We do NOT want an electric car tax, but it would be fair to treat EVs fairly, especially if it goes toward transportation infrastructure fairly.
Some of the problems with current funding
gas tax is insufficient. If we truly want to cover transportation infrastructure, we need to double or triple
gas tax is unfair, even before we get to EVs. A more efficient vehicle does not need less infrastructure spending
goes toward roads, almost exclusively, new projects almost entirely. I know maintenance is boring but it needs to be done, and should be what we need to solve the problem, not just default to road
most transportation options have been starved of funding for a century. We need to fix that. We need choices. We need more scalable support, both up and down
Why would you want an electric car tax?
Gas taxes pay for road construction in most/all states. No gas means no gas tax, which means the funding for infrastructure goes away.
I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the proposal, but that’s the idea anyways.
Hmm
