Why do Republicans hate humanity?

They wish Soylent Green was a documentary rather than a work of dystopian fiction. And they want people not just to suffer but also pay for their suffering. [/quote]

God, you people are such drama queens.  It's already been explained to you that this was a bipartisan proposal and that EV drivers use the same roads as everyone else.  But do take to your fainting couches, as usual.[/quote]

So why is the proposed EV tax double what the average driver would pay in federal gas taxes? That is not factoring in the average EV drivers actually drive less miles per year.

Does not sound fair at all. By this logic a car getting 25 mpg should have to pay a fee vs a car or truck with 15 mpg. The federal tax is a tax on gas per gallon. If you drive a car that gets more miles per gallons you are cheating the system.

This.  There is no logic here, like PP describes, because non EV cars with great fuel economy pay less in gas taxes than gas guzzlers but aren't subjected to any extra tax despite driving the same number of miles on the same roads. [/quote]

Our country must be in big trouble financially if the government is looking for ways like this to make money. Or the foxes have really taken over the henhouse and it’s the latest way to play Sheriff of Nottingham. We’re so in debt and fxked they now have to count our mileage and charge us? A century ago would they have charge someone an extra year ax for two instead of one horse for their carriage? [/quote]
