The crooked and idiotic tax-crazed liberals who run California now want to charge their citizens per mile to drive their cars.

Crooked California Legislature Wants to Tax Drivers For Every Mile They Travel – Driving Taxpayers Right Out of State

These corrupt liberals and Democrats will try and find as many ways to steal money from their citizens as humanly possible, and the only way to stop the abuse is to move out of the state of California.

“We want to do as Washington and Oregon have done in a much bigger state with much longer commutes…to make sure that we find out whether it would work, whether the public would like it or not” – Sen. Mark DeSaulnier

Anyone with a brain could tell Sen. Mark DeSaulnier right now that the public will definitely not like having to pay extra mileage taxes for driving on top of the out-of-control California taxes that are causing all kinds of problems in the state of California already.

I say to the California Legislature, go ahead and add mileage taxes, because when they do it will continue to drive companies and jobs to other states, faster than is already happening.

The California Legislature is looking at a voluntary program that would tax motorists for every mile they drive.

KCAL9’s Bobby Kaple reports that Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, introduced a bill to test out the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) tax because the state’s gas tax was no longer bringing in the revenue it used to due to people driving more fuel efficient vehicles.

The program is modeled after ones in Oregon and Washington.

“We want to do as Washington and Oregon have done in a much bigger state with much longer commutes…to make sure that we find out whether it would work, whether the public would like it or not,” DeSaulnier said.

It’s unknown how much the tax would be, but Oregon currently charges its volunteers 1.5 cents per mile.

“All of those things would be determined. We would let the agency determine that because this would be a voluntary program,” DeSaulnier said.

Southland commuters were not thrilled about the idea of a VMT tax.

“I bought a hybrid…one, because of my drive. I’m very opposed. I drive to Brentwood every day from Burbank, and I am already paying more than I should be,” Carmen Smith said.

“So if we go on vacation and I drive up to Mammoth, that’s 600 miles. We’re being taxed on vacations?” Kim Robinson said.
