Petition at Change.org to reduce Utah diesel fuel tax, steadily rising since 2015

So it went down from last year?

 

Do away with all fuel tax. Instead, set up a data base where your mileage on ALL vehicles are reported daily and you receive a statement monthly from the US, your state and your local government. If you travel across state lines, your mileage is automatically reported to the other states and you receive a monthly statement for miles traveled in those states. If payment is not received in 90 days. the offending vehicle is seized and sold for delinquent amounts.

 

There would be a revolution.
Americans pay taxes only because they are confiscated at the point of sale. Yes, this includes income taxes.
Can you imagine the chaos if everyone had to stroke a check for 30% of their earnings on April 15th in a lump sum? Or even worse, right around Halloween before the election cycle?
The people who pay property tax in a lump sum, are an extreme minority.
I agree with you. There should be a weight/distance model for funding highways.

 

There needs to be one as taxation is theft.

 

I recommend you read the terms of service , and about page on change dot org before signing.
