Worst tax of all is the tax unnoticed.
They're my favorite.
If I used 25 gallons a year for yard equipment (but I don't use that much) the local and state gas tax would add a bit under $10 to my bill. Big deal! I'm very thankful for the opportunity to buy gas at a relatively low cost compared to my ability to afford it. Yes, we could do far better living in Venezuela or Saudi Arabia but there's a also a lot worse. Most of EU is well over $5/gallon.
This minor but inappropriate add on would go away under the proposed mileage tax. The non greenies would also appreciate that electric vehicles would pay the same amount per mile as those driving 7 MPG Unimogs.
