A few days ago, Pete Buttigieg went on the record as saying he envisions a per-mile tax on vehicles in the futureโseemingly to circumvent the rising fuel efficiency of cars that cut into the already-ludicrous fuel taxes we have today. By doing so, this would punish rural and poor drivers the most, as they drive farther and likely have cheaper vehicles with worse fuel efficiency. Would this per-mile tax essentially become a double tax on the rural and middle class in America? Buttigieg claims that infrastructure improvements would cost $3.5 trillion, but others have suggested it could cost up to $10 trillion.
Follow me as I delve down the rabbit hole of Buttigieg’s motivations, political affiliations, and driving forces behind the plot to “end the global rule of capital” by using the “unprecedented opportunity” presented by climate change to “construct the world that is possible” and enact “Eco-socialism.” MORE
Puck fete!
America is going to die choking to death on laws and taxes.
Lord, it’s even worse than I had imagined. Our country is infested with generations of these scum.
What do you expect from a guy whose qualification for his position is that he used to ride the train.
If the government’s objective is to collect more tax revenue, wouldn’t a better approach be to reduce the price of gas so you can raise the gas tax (and raise more revenue) while still saving drivers’ money?
Don’t say rabbit hole and Buttigieg in the same sentence.
Buttcheek’s only redeeming quality is that he is unlikely to ever reproduce.
1) They will implement this tax.
2) They will not cut fuel taxes.
3) None of the money raised will be spent on fixing infrastructure.
4) More taxes will be implemented or raised for the purpose of fixing infrastructure.
So, due to fuel efficient cars we must have a tax by mile theft? Then what happens when people stop driving because of the tax and they get even less revenue?
You guessed it, more tax per mile.
They’re winning, we’re losing.
They’ll get what they want.
I don’t see as how anything can be done about it.
Faggot says what?
Double taxed for the privilege of driving. Never asked and never mentioned whether gas tax would be eliminated. (It won’t)
Buttplug can sit on it & spin.
He’ll get MORE enjoyment out of it. ๐
So will bikes, scooters and mini bike sales start to go through the roof?
And still there are not 100,000,000 people marching to the capital.
When confronted with the fact that he no longer rides his bike to work, Buttifag said: Hey, I still ride Chasten every night, so bugger off!
Seems the ultimate goal is to force everyone to live in metro areas, and use primarily public transportation.
Doubt that will go over well in TX.
