Title: New Tax proposal VMT
Post by: paul.karen on February 24, 2009, 10:45:04 AM
Like we need more taxs.  Have you heard of this one.
MVT =  Motor Vehicle Tax    Dont we pay this tax in the form of registration??

Needless it works like this.

When you get your car inspected, most states require this (inspection) every two years or so depending where you live.  They will calculate how many miles you have driven and then charge you for the miles driven.
But wait there is a blue ribbon panel that is urging congress to go one step farther with this system of taxation.
They want all cars and trucks equipped with GPS, transponders and clocks.  So they will not only know how  many miles you have driven but also when and where?
It will charge you more for driving during rush hour.  This would be the time many come and go to work??  To pay for there gas right.  Also they may charge more for driving in large cities.
Now im no rocket scientist (no need to laugh and agree).
But this system is meant to raise money for road repairs ect.
Tell me if im wrong but isnt this what the gas tax is for?  So we may yet again be double taxed

Oh also it will help keep big brother aware of your every move.

Just wanted to share this.
