Connecticut lawmakers pass truck-only highway user tax

Yes but we are talking about truck only taxes....not retail.

 

Trucks haul stuff. Some of this stuff is hauled for retail. If the carrier isn't gonna eat it, a scumbag broker won't eat it, and most likely the stores aren't gonna eat it who's that leave? In the end somebody's gonna eat that extra cost.

 

to me, it's just like the TRUCKS ONLY tolls in some states..

to me, highly arbitrary or discriminatory towards one group of highway users.

toll all, or toll none.

this miles tax, can only in time, spread to ALL vehicles, especially those that have electric cars, as they are not buying gasoline or diesel that pays road use taxes.

sooner or later, the snowflakes will cry, and wish they had not initiated such crappola.

 

I comprehend just fine thanks. You make me laugh every time we converse dude....or lack there of....you always talk to me like "you know something I don't know, and you finna learn me something." Lol anyway, I understand what you are saying. I'm just pointing out the fact that it's barely a noticeable tax. New York, New Mexico, Kentucky, and I want to say Oregon already charges something for trucks as it is. I don't know what the cost of it is exactly. How much is it really going to impact truckers though? Unless you're running up there all the time, it's going to be a minuscule tax. What makes consumers pay more money on goods seems to be things like natural disasters, or more simply, supply and demand.

I understand man...I promise I understand. Of course it will....that's a national cost. That's completely different than one state's individual tax. The trucker tax in Connecticut don't everyone the same is what I'm saying. Do you understand what I'm saying?

 

It's the the way the northeast is I guess. They've been doing this since the beginning of time it seems. I'd more see it if the other continental states decided to follow suit. Each state got their way of getting revenue. I'm live in Tennessee, they have the highest sales tax in the nation I think, 9.75 percent. I guess as long as you don't buy anything in Tennessee it don't affect ya, but living there I avoid state income taxes. We all gonna give up some coin some kind of way I guess.
