More states considering pay-by-the-mile Car Taxes

That is a good chunk of change say the average person puts 12,000 miles per year on their car they will pay $10200 per year that is more than many people actually paid for their cars to start with.Now most families have two regularly driven vehicles so they will pay roughly $20400 per year.If they ever pass this I bet a lot of tax collectors will be seeing guns in their faces when they come to collect.

Just another scheme to get money they already put tons of taxes and fees on us as it is with cars yet we live in nation that relies on private transport unless you live in a large city you need a car to even be able to work and then they want to charge a low income person who has an old car only even worth a few grand and only making maybe $20,000.00 a year half his income just to get to work.

I mean why not encourage car pooling or something? That is how you can tell it is not really about conserving fuel or anything of that nature.The only way this would fly at all is if they massively improved public transportation in the US which would cost billions.
