Since gasoline taxes for road improvements are actually a scam (good luck proving where the money actually goes) , they should just change it to a registration fee for everyone. Eliminating a tax saves a lot of money and I imagine a gas tax is rather complicated to administer.
- reaperducer 7y agogood luck proving where the money actually goes Unwarranted cynicism is unhelpful. There are laws that determine where the money goes. Those laws and the distribution formulas are online. As are the audits. No, you won't find it with a 12-second Google search. You'll actually have to look for yourself.
- joezydeco 7y agoThe other possibility, and this has already been floated in Illinois, is putting a tracker on every vehicle and taxing drivers by the mile. A gas tax increase, in comparison, doesn't look so bad.
