They just won't stop.

The Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood, wants to tax people on how many miles they drive.
"We should look at the vehicular miles program when people are actually clocked on the number of miles that they traveled."
So over the road truckers are taxed by how many miles they travel-the consumer will pay for goods at a higher price as the truckers will pass the tax unto us.
Taxi cabs will be raising their fares-passing the tax onto the consumer.
How about the transportation section-buses,trains and so forth will raise their fares to cover the cost of the"Mileage Tax"
The consumer who are already paying for road use through taxes each state takes out of our paycheck for road maintenance, tolls to help with the upkeep of roadways and bridges and now they want to tax us again. Just think how many miles you travel to work (round trip) minimum of 5 days a week (unless you work one of your days off- as in overtime)
The idea is starting to be accepted in Idaho, Rhode Island, North Carolina. Of course Massachusetts is all over it.
Think you can write this tax off when you file your tax's? How many politicians will ask for a per denim for travel?
Again the working person will be footing the bill.
