Dems & liberals make a big mistake by endorsing a mileage tax in California

It should be clear to most people that endorsing another vehicle related tax in this state is wrong. Already California is the highest taxed state in the country. We already pay high state related taxes including the tax for sale of each gallon of gas we buy. Already, the price of gas in this state is the highest in the country.

Now there are Democrats in our state Assembly that are proposing a vehicle mileage tax that will be charged to gasoline powered automobile owners each year. They are talking about assessing a fee of 6 cents per mile that will have to be calculated annually.

This is outrageous. Not only will the California state government need to get CA. resident’s vehicle information but they will find difficulty securing this information. It will also be costly for the state in having to get employees to get this mileage information annually.

We are taught by wise people throughout our lives to “live within our means” but many California states elected officials and our Governor (Gavin Newsome) certainly do not abide by this. Sadly our federal government continues to increase our national debt with its spending too. I not only blame the Democrats with this but sadly the President too.

It is important that each of us become aware of this massive spending and new excessive taxes that only hurt our country.
