Obama Kills Mileage Tax
February 20th, 2009
Obama said he would not pursue a mileage tax. And thank god for that. It seems a little wierd to have the government knowing when and where I may drive at all times. Furthermore, what is the problem with the gasoline tax? If you use a lot, you pay a lot. It felt like a mileage tax would be just another way to punish you for using highways, or driving at peak times, which would almost certainly have a higher rate.
Obama seems to be going back on what his administration says quite a bit lately. It’s almost like a perpetual foot in mouth syndrom. Biden doesn’t help him out, and neither does Geithner.
As soon as they said they wouldn’t nationalize banks the markets shot up today. That should tell you something.
Thank you!
