Speakeasy forum: Taxing Fuel Efficiency. Electric & Hybrids To Be Taxed More

That's nothing new. The same goes for the recycling of all kinds of products. An entire industry has been created by recycling and those people want to be paid.

gasoline powered cars would have the same effect.

Although the state tax and the Fed tax already being put onto the price of fuel and that money supposedly going toward fixing the 'infrastructure', BO isn't happy with that and has campaigned for five years on 'investing' in that very thing......but when he gets the money, like the infamous stimulus, he spends it on crap instead of what he campaigned on.

I'm just saying that the extra tax they are looking for is being touted as being for infrastructure, and yet the Feds are trying to also gather new taxes based on the same thing.......why the double taxation for infrastructure? Whose responsibility IS it or is it a 'shared' expense so the Feds can justify their additional tax or stimulus do-over? Even with State toll roads, that money was supposed to be for maintenance of the state highways once the toll road was paid for and that tax was supposed to end.....unfortunately, once a tax is in place and the states or feds get used to getting that money, it never goes away as promised.
