[quote=Anonymous]Since this is a flat tax, irrespective of your income, it is going to affect those with lower incomes disproportionately. It's just like the sales tax, although the state doesn't (shouldn't) tax "essential" goods. The gas tax is also a legacy tax. It will need to be replaced as we switch to more and more electric vehicles. The theory was that the gas tax helps to pay for roads and electric vehicles no longer "pay their share." That's one reason you might need to increase gas taxes, but that's a pointless exercise because the move to electric is happening and not going away.[/quote]
