Are you thankful to God we got rid of Trump and voted a horde of democrats into office by hook or crook? Then you will love the new socialist democrat mileage tax desperately needed by democrats to pay for their black reparation programs labeled 'community investments,' worldwide wealth confiscation and redistribution labeled 'global warming sustainable development,' destruction of border security and immigration laws, destruction of American values, history, and free-market prosperity, and the like.

The White House’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure package includes a pilot program for a national mile-driven tax, contradicting President Biden’s previous dismissal of the policy.
Tucked within the 2,702-page infrastructure bill is obscure language requiring the Department of Transportation to test the feasibility of taxing drivers for the number of miles they travel.
The tax would be broad enough to target any “passenger motor vehicles,” including light and medium-to-heavy duty trucks.”
The bill also requires Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (or their successors) to report to Congress about the findings of the program within three years of its creation.
Those findings, the bill’s authors say, can then be used by federal lawmakers to assess whether such a tax should be implemented to fund improvements on roads and highways.
