[QUOTE="traveler, post: 56931"] wkmac, Your idea of a mileage based tax is interesting but taking the "devil's advocate" point of view I submit the following: How do you check odometers periodically to assertain the tax due? Income tax much as the gasoling excise tax is deducted from ones paycheck to make that tax a "pay as you go" system. Have you ever noted that those small companies that collect and don't remit that tax are constantly in trouble with the IRS? The don't have the cash when it comes time to settle. How many private citizens who live paycheck to paycheck will have the cash to pay up when the time comes? Haw many more odometers will break or be turned back to avoid taxes? How many more autos will go unregistered, using stolen or old licence plates to avoid the tax? How much more clerical administration and heirarchy would be needed to collect and administer that tax? I really don't feel a mileage based system will solve anything but only create a bunch of new problems. [/QUOTE]
