Dear Readers,
Virginia libertarian automotive journalist & author Eric Peters wrote this week
about Tax By Mile and how it will become just another an instrument of
tyranny:
--------
The fuel-efficient (and planet friendly) hybrid/electric vehicles the
government has been aggressively encouraging people to buy via generous (with
other peoples money) manufacturer and retail subsidies/tax incentives? The
ever-upticking of federal fuel efficiency mandates - set to crest 35 MPG on
average less than two years from now and then, perhaps ascend to 54.5 MPG by
2025 that were touted as a way to make driving more affordable for
cash-strapped Americans?
It was another long con.
The object has never been to give American drivers a break, to make it less
expensive to get around. It has always been to construct yet another way to
fleece and control them. By pushing efficient cars, a new crisis has been
manufactured: Theres not adequate revenue from motor fuels taxes flowing into
state and county coffers because hybrid/electric cars and the latest fuel-sippy
conventional cars are too
And the solution to this manufactured crisis?
Tax drivers by the mile instead.
