California's latest "innovative" taxation scheme is here – a per-mile road charge to replace declining gas tax revenue. Because nothing says progress like tracking every mile you drive while claiming it's for the environment! The state wants to charge 2.8 cents per mile, complete with transponder tracking or odometer photo submissions, all while gas prices remain the nation's highest at 59 cents per gallon. But here's the kicker: this regressive tax will hit working-class families hardest – the same people forced to live hours away from job centers because California's housing costs are insane. They're rushing toward an all-electric future by 2035 (15 million EVs, they claim) while two major refineries are closing, eliminating 17% of the state's gas supply. Government efficiency at its finest! Are Californians really buying into this "paving the way to the future" nonsense? How long before other states follow suit? The progressive agenda keeps getting more expensive – who's actually paying the price here? Like and subscribe if you're tired of politicians treating taxpayers like ATMs while virtue signaling their way to transportation dystopia.
