Anytime I hear "ax the tax" I know it's removing a tax that benefits society and replacing it with a detriment to society. Without fail

You buy a computer, pay for it, and then you still need to pay for power and internet?

Personally as someone who drives, I prefer roads that I don’t need a lifted 4x4 to traverse. I’d say these people must think the asphalt just grows there naturally, but really they don’t actually think at all.

Just one less tax bro🙏

I promise bro just one less tax and it'll fix everything 🥺

You got married but you have to be nice to your wife to get a blowjob? If I'm elected governor, everyone's wives will have to give them a blowjob whenever they want, no questions asked.

Some countries don't have a car tax. However their roads are mostly unpaved dirt paths without signs, bridges or road maintenance, and you can't go faster than 40kmh without ruining your car.

Ah yes. The magical self maintaining roads.

On the contrary, cars are way too subsidized! We should be taxing these vehicles to appropriately reflect their social cost.

She's also a Republican in all the worst kind of ways. Looking at her Wikipedia page just... Yikes.

When you get into main cities, public transportation and walking becomes easier and it makes sense to tax drivers more.

I've been working in the backwoods/suburbs for over 15 years now and in the US, you're fucked. There is no way to get/keep a job without a car because there are no bike lanes, no sidewalks, and good luck trying to find a taxi/Uber. Your forced to take on the emissions testing, loans for junk cars because we can't afford new cars. A 15 minute drive is 2 hours on foot because there are no sidewalks, you have to cut through yards, which is "trespassing" and you could get shot, especially in the backwoods areas.

They basically make it illegal to NOT have a car. And that's a win for them because then they can tax the fuck out of you for owning one

I grew up in Virginia. When I was in the 3rd grade, Jim Gilmore won on a "no car tax" campaign in 1998. Funny how we still have car tax hmm...

You don't have to pay taxes on your car if you don't drive it on public roads.

I agree it's pretty stupid to pay a tax just for owning something. Let's change it so they pay it every time they use it. Much more fair.

You Winsome, you Losesome.

I've actually learned of a way to cheat and not pay car tax at all. Sell it.

Defund highways yesterday, and let’s build free public transit everywhere, but she’s right that regressive taxes aren’t the way to win the world we want. A wealth tax (or inheritance tax, or financial transactions tax, etc) would be far preferable. To miss that and adopt policies that exacerbate the cost of living crisis (even when they serve good goals) is to fail to understand the Yellow Vest protests and their lessons entirely.

And then they'll complain about potholes.

Wait, she has a point, axe the tax, but completely stop spending government money on roads made for cars.

Does she mean registration?

Good. Let them pay tolls everywhere they go.
