re: #472 lurking faith

We already pay mileage taxes (both federal and state), when we buy fuel for our cars.

How much we pay per mile varies by how good or bad the vehicle’s mpg is.

Now they want to tax our mileage twice? I think the urban elitists are going to be just as shocked by the response to this as they were to the response to the stupid 55 mph national speed limit.

This aspect was pointed out upthread:

Fuel efficient cars use less gas. Less gas = less taxes. Now let’s find a way to SCREW everyone regardless of ‘environmentally sound’ choice. Government is a bunch of nefarious bastards.
