saveliberty Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Boston Herald: Highway to Hell! Pay-per-mile tax is latest cash grab from greedy pols By Howie Carr Sunday, June 17, 2012 - Updated 33 minutes ago The hacks at the State House are salivating at the prospect of charging you a penny for every mile you drive your car in Massachusetts. This is a tax increase so monstrous that it would make M. Stanley Dukakis blush. We’re talking $555 million — the first year. It’s an idea so terrible it can’t be killed. Like a vampire, it keeps coming back to life, and the stake hasn’t been invented that can be driven through its black heart. The Vehicle Miles Traveled Fee, that’s what the payroll patriots and union thugs are calling it now, in a new transportation report full of similar euphemisms. New taxes, for instance, are now “funding strategies” and “local financial commitment.” ************** Read the whole thing and then rejoice if you do not live or do business in Massachusetts.

saveliberty Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 @clearvision, I would like to think that Massachusetts (the lone blue state in 2010) is an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It will be coming nationwide soon. Well you know the problem the states are having is we are under taxed, not the state government is overspending. A couple of years ago here there was a local talkshow host who asked the simple question...How Much Is Enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
