Wow, another tax targeting red areas on top of the gas tax we already pay. I hate this faggot.

In a lot of red areas, the density simply isn’t there to support any alternative to cars.

Exactly, blue areas where people commute to work by public transportation: subways, buses, and so forth will avoid this for the most part while more rural areas where people have to drive and those areas tend to vote red, they’re the most heavily affected. Buttedgeedge may be an idiot, but this is suspiciously targeted despite the high gas taxes in most states they want even more “for infrastructure”. He’s just the face (or the ass depending on how you want to look at it), but this is a targeted effort to extract as much money as possible from the people who actually make this country work. Please, no one let them fool you. I remember reading a few articles about when bananas were first sold in NYC decades ago. They hate you, and they want to tax you more than you can afford to maintain a lifestyle for your families but they want the fruits of your labor. Call it the heartland, flyover country, deplorables, or whatever, but that’s a big part of who makes this country great. And to be honest, I’ll do what I can to avoid something like this, between this which was proposed months ago and all the reparation proposals, like President Trump said himself in the first debate: I am a businessman I don’t want to pay taxes, and I cannot support this.
