Remember Joe Biden’s promise that he will not increase taxes on people whose annual income is less than $400,000?
“If your income is less than $400,000, you won’t see a penny in additional federal taxes,” Biden Tell George Stephanopoulos, March 2020.
But then Psaki tried to fabricate this, saying they meant that the “family” made so much money, or implying that it meant a couple. Of course, this has a completely different meaning and exposes individuals to greater risks.
But this is not the only place where the Democrats try to sneak around us in terms of potential taxation.
In the new bipartisan infrastructure agreement, a multi-year “National Motor Vehicle Per Mile User Charge Pilot” plan is provided. The pilot program in Part 13002 of the Act will target individual vehicle mileage and charge users based on vehicle mileage.
The 2,702-page bill instructs Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to make recommendations to Congress within three years after the pilot project is established. At that time, legislators can choose whether to pass the per-vehicle mileage levy. New tax legislation. Provide funding for infrastructure overhauls.
The plan will target passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and the cost may vary depending on vehicle type and weight class, “to reflect the estimated impact on infrastructure, safety, congestion, environment, or other related social impacts.”
“The Minister should coordinate with the Minister of Finance and, based on the recommendations of the Advisory Committee, develop a pilot plan to demonstrate the national motor vehicle per mile user cost to restore and maintain the long-term solvency road trust fund and improve and maintain the ground transportation system,” The text of the bill reads.
User fees per mile. So, what is the White House’s response to a seemingly sneaky way to impose a mileage tax on the country?

“Almost nothing in the bill runs counter to the president’s promise. This refers to two regulations on research. If they want to apply for their own research, they can provide funding to the states. The second involves a federal based on individual volunteers. In the pilot program, they receive a full refund, and the research used for research will only serve as the basis for future legislative recommendations,” a White House official explained in detail. “The government will evaluate all legislation against the $400,000 pledge, including any bills related to these pilot projects.”
The White House stated that the pilot project will use “volunteers” for testing, and volunteers will be compensated.
So you are just running a pilot program to determine whether we should charge a national vehicle per mile user fee, but don’t worry, because hey, we might decide not to? Should we believe it? Why are you investigating it, in the first place? Do we need to remind people that income tax shouldn’t be permanent?
Democrats-they just can’t stop taxing you, even if they promise not to. This helps them to make driving a car expensive, thereby reducing driving and meeting their climate change goals. This may ruin many people, especially those who use driving as part of their work or who have a reason to drive frequently. The 17 Republicans who agreed with this should be checked.
The 1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill will pave the way for a new mileage tax on drivers, by creating various pilot programs for “vehicle per mile user fees”. https://t.co/VJo2UKP4Xc

You are going to be messed up…
Although Biden has increased the tax “red line” by $400,000, the infrastructure bill still floats the national mileage fee https://t.co/SVm0hOl2zQ
