Maybe we’ll have to disconnect the hour meters on our golf carts too.🤩

In reality, I read that these devices can easily be made at home. If this tax is put into place I can already think of a lot of ways to get around it.

And what happens when you go to sell the car? Lie again?

Sure, cheating is always good!! Can we get some information on how to shoplift from the big box stores? Or maybe, you know, disconnect all the pollution controls from our vehicles? Cause societal rules and laws don’t apply to us.

If Pete is trying to compensate for loss of gas tax revenue due to electric/hybrid vehicles, it should be a simple matter to charge a yearly fee to owners of electric/hybrid vehicles that is the average of what they didn't pay in gas taxes for that year. This can be done as part of the vehicle registration system.

Seems like a much much easier way to do it vs. continuously monitoring every car in the US. But this is the government we're talking here so.....

Amusing but, we already have several Vehicle Mileage taxes. One third of what we pay for gasoline is tax. They used to but no longer do show this on the pump. There is also tolls.

A friend used to say, they have so many ways to pluck the chicken we do not realize we are bald.

We are actually the problem. We demand government services. We think the government should pay for it. We forget this is government of the people, by the people
for the people.

An easy solution, that will never happen. I see you want........... Based on ..............
your cost will be .................. Do you still want it at your cost?
