Those 4 magic words -- I TOLD YOU SO !

Probably makes the most sense. You still have to pay for roads.

 

[Thavoice]

What is the minimum threshold?
I drive ten miles less than that....


We already pay this tax at the pump, are they retarded? Wanna says it's sixty cents a gallon

That's why there's taxes.

Eliminate the gas taxes, then maybe this works.

Just shuffle the money around.

 

[MentorGrad2002]

How about instead of bs impeachments , bs pork to other countries for things like gender studies etc , we take that money and reallocate it instead of taxing people more. Crazy I know

Why anyone would favor giving up more of your hard earned money to Congress to piss away boggles my mind

So tax poor people at a higher rate? Good call

 

[OldSoulon]

The last Democrat to even hint at lowering taxes was JFK.

Then, he was assassinated shortly thereafter.

There’s a completely made up statement.

 

[OldSoulon]

To be fair, Bootygig said the tax would only apply to women and straight white males.

Well, then raise taxes. The cost of our road infrastructure has never been included in normal tax revenues. This would basically be a use tax, which conservatives generally support.

 

[OldSoulon]

Why don't you explain to us how that is?

True, but the gas tax is the best way to do this as it goes off your consumption. Ue roads alot and you pay more.
Thy likely hurting from shut downs and driving less. It helped them win the presidency but hurt in tax revenue in gas.

Half of the gas tax goes towards welfare programs. Used to be 100% for roads

 

[az0217t]

As stated above, we have a gas tax already. that is a usage tax. the more gas that you buy the more taxes you pay.

How about we use the money from taxes already and stop wasting it on bs impeachment, sham gender study and other programs abroad , and sham climate-health organizations where we pay way more than others who don't even follow the guidelines

How they use the taxes is their problem. If they find other programs that is their mismanagement. 60 cents a gallon is enough but of course Dems want more taxes.

 

[lc5397]

Why don't you explain to us how that is?

First of all, it’s a use tax. It’s completely dependent on how much a person drives so it completely depends on how much a person drives before you can even figure out the percentage for an individual.

Ok. You’re still several trillion short of the infrastructure finding needed.

The government is a drug addict that always needs more

This has been the trend for decades. This is not a new problem.

Every single time you fall in defense of the Dems, just admit you're a leftist

If your answer is simply tax more for citizens , you are nuts. Government has plenty of money. They just waste it

Will this apply for interstate commerce? The price of goods will just go up. Yep, the poor people will be affected most. Way to go Dems. ?

 

[OldSoulon]

This guy couldn't run South Bend successfully, and now he wants to tax us?

 

[MentorGrad2002]

It's really hilarious that he still tries to maintain that he's moderate

 

[Hammerdrill]

I'm guessing Amazon would be exempt from this?

 

[Thavoice]

See what their responses are?
Losing jobs due to cancelling the pipeline? Just get new jobs.
Gas tax? Just raise taxes.

Yeah, they hate the working man.

The math is simple for Dems, if we are short of money, we just need to raise taxes. ?‍ It is black and white to them.

Yep, we need to all live in big cities live in small government owned apartments, and take public transportation, just like the Chicoms.
