  3. Hilarious thing about that bogus butt-wipe tax thing is that new drivers will quit buying cars since it will be literally non-affordable, putting the auto industry in deeper financial holes than they already are. More and more people will eventually quit driving for the tax expense or limit driving unless absolutely necessary. Any and all of Biden’s trickeries are meant to benefit himself, crackhead son and family, and the party swamp fiends.

  4. You can bet your Aunt Fanny there’re lots more devious shit in those 2,702 pages than just that. The bigger the bill, the more theft, corruption, and extortion – that’s why they write 2000 page monstrosities.

  5. I’d support it, if it was for electric cars only. But you know the government is going to hand out subsidies and tax breaks to incentivize the short sighted to give up internal combustion. Once they’re tens of thousands of dollars invested into electric they’ll pull all the perks and trap a large segment of the driving public with a vehicle that they can no longer afford to drive.

  7. TAX ATTACK against Middle and Rural America.

  8. I wonder why they even bother with “legislation” anymore?

    Maybe to keep the self serving PsOS in Congress looking busy? Just have Circle Back announce the way it’s gonna be and be done with it.

  9. You can bet the tech is being applied to auto manufacturing as we discuss.
    So how would they do it, and how do we convince them our car is sitting in the garage while we’re going for a drive?
