racinfarmer Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'd be fine with another cent or two onto the federal gas tax. It is a user tax after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGNHL Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Need to start charging some sort of taxes on EVs eventually too. I can see why they haven't yet as they were trying to incentivize people to buy them, but they do cause wear and tear on our roads as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there are many R's who adhere to the Nordquist mindset of absolutely no new taxes.....but I'm sure somewhere in the fine print that only applies when a D is president . But then again with the clown in Washington we can roll back CAFE standards so we don't have to raise taxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoslinger Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 House GOP leader sees gas tax as politically unfeasible By Keith Laing - 06/22/15 09:00 AM EDT "House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Monday that a gas tax hike is unlikely to be approved by Congress this year. Transportation advocates have pushed for a gas tax increase to help pay for an extension of an infrastructure funding measure that is scheduled to expire on July 31. But McCarthy said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Monday that the reality of politics makes raising the gas tax unlikely. He went on to say that it will be difficult to come up with a funding source to pay for five years of highway funding." http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/245684-mccarthy-on-gas-tax-politically-that-will-not-make-it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
