What about out of state people? They use the roads, but it does not sound like this system can account for the miles driven by visitors.

 

Watch as America grinds to a standstill. This country needs long-distance roads and long-distance cars (fuel efficient or otherwise).

It also would disparately penalize rural residents more than city ones.

If you have to do something this draconian to compensate for a lack of a gas tax, then make it an hours-based model (if anything; I'm not a fan of that either).

 

tax money at work

 

sweet. I for one want the government to know where I drive and how fast i go

/sarcasm

 

if they put a GPS in my car that shit is getting cut outta my car

however, if they charge 1/4 cent for every mile, if you drive 15k miles you will pay $37.5 a year! Even if you drive 25k miles $62.5.... That doesnt seem like that big of a deal to me. Dont buy a mugen oil cap and there ya go you have more than enough to cover the $30-60 tax on mileage.

 

shit if this meant better roads i would be ok with it but i doubt that this would help road conditions. The U.S in general try to maintain the roads as cheap as possible

 

I just thought of something. GPS jammers! The system is already broken.
