Tax By the Mile
- Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic challenger J.B. Pritzker have different ideas about how to tax motorists and raise money for road improvements around the state.
After his appearance at a forum this week in Normal for the Illinois Farm Bureau, Gov. Bruce Rauner told reporters Pritzker has a plan to tax drivers based on how many miles they drive.
“Pritzker has proposed a mileage tax on cars,” Rauner said. “He has proposed a tax, put a box in your car, measure your miles and pay a tax based on how many miles you drive.”
Here a tax, there a tax, everywhere a tax, tax. The democrats solution to everything. Anyone know how we can register cars out of state?

Put a box in my car?
Who is gonna do that?
What, no plates if I do not submit?
Who is gonna enforce that?
- Why don't you have plates on your vehicle?
- Wouldn't let them put a fucking taxi meter in my car.
- Okay. Have a nice day.......
Um......last time I check you don’t own my car and I don’t give you permission to put anything in or on my car.
We are doomed if DemocRATS get JB! Vote Republican!
Maybe a Food Consumption Tax could be implemented. This fat bastard could balance the state's budget all by himself. Pigster has callouses on his fingers just from holding a knife and fork!!
I got a great idea. How about a tollway? Yes, a tollway that generates revenue for road improvements. Let's get rid of that old tollway system that makes money for Madigan's connected cronies. Oh. Did I say that out loud?
Heh!
Heh-Heh!
Let J.B. slide that mileage tax in place and
try to collect some money from Dude Inc.
Suspended license?
Dude ain't givin' no fuck.
Impound Dudes sled?
Dude will just ride the Red Line north
to stick a pistol in some weak and clueless
yupster's ear-hole and appropriate a replacement
sled to be found banged and shot the fuck up on
an expressway embankment or a city side street.
Again... Dude ain't givin' no fuck.
Only you law abiding tax payers
will be compelled to pony up.
Suckers.
Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.
I guess spending less is not an option.
Stupid Illinois fucks. Run more people out of here
Just get a po box out in Indiana and register your vehicle over there. Indiana will love the money
There’ll be a tonof WI plates parked in 016...
Box? In my car? Yeah. I left the window open and umm, some stuff got stolen. Guess they took the box.
Ummm, the box is broken? Shorted out you say? Who knew?
Umm, the box looks melted? Who knew? That connector's under the dash... musta got pretty hot down there.
Ummm, the box was disconnected? By whom? I have no idea. Maybe by the guy who pulled it out to check the emissions at the testing facility. Again, it's under the dash so I never noticed...
Ummm, the box fell into the microwave oven? Nope. Not me. Musta been those damn kids!
And as the State predictably tightens up on such excuses, I predict that more and more people will leave in megadroves from this shithole of a State
Taxation by the mile has been proposed by many states. Also, don't forget gas tax and other tax $$$ on automobiles, SUVs, and PU trucks also has has to be sidelined for mass transportation such as subways and public buses.
Tax by the mile has been on the horizon for a while. At first they said it would replace the gas tax... ok.
And as soon as the bonds are paid off the tollways will become freeways.
Fool me once...
If this tax proposal passes, whatever businesses are left will flee Illinois in droves!
Then JB will do a "leaving Illinois tax" lol
JB, if I use my mobile home to get around and remove the toilet will I have to still pay the milage tax?
Yeah, go ahead put the box in my car. You can measure how far I’ll have to drive to get out of this god forsaken tax wasteland called Illinois. I’ll leave the box on state lines for good ol’ Prickster to get. But there won’t be money as payment...oh no...he gets something special. Trident Layers!!! Because everyone wants to be paid in gum :)
Out of staters will just have to pay triple at the pump. Should be great for tourism!
The goal is to elect Rauner, and have dems continue to rule via Madagin.
Dems continue unabated and the (R) gets the blame.
Illinois is RIPE for a sane alternative candidate.
The are various proposals in the Western Communist States in the Union pushing for this. Somebody's got to pay for all the illegal aliens and deadbeat homeless. Nancy Pelosi has publicly stated that they, the Democrats, want to resend the Trump tax cuts. And there are people who will want to pay more, how stupid is that. You can register your car in another State by fleeing from Illinois. Do so before JB puts the squeeze on you.
Meh... streets of the city will still be shit and the money would slush in to a campaign fund
Who’s gonna tax JB of his net worth of 3.5 Billion dollars?!?
Tax the all the trucking companies and their overweight truck loads keep those weigh stations open 24/7 more weight stations more mobile scale missions. It's these truck tearing up all the roads tax them by the mile. Are there any weigh stations in Chicago NO stop them ruining our infrastructure? I know drivers who are paid extra to take overweight garbage loads on local roads everyday to the Pontiac landfill State Police does nothing!
How about a tax on Oxygen Consumption. Tax every citizen and visitor on the amount of oxygen they breathe in every day. Granted Illinois air is dirty and polluted but this could be a real money maker. If you fail to pay for OC Tax the state will put a plastic bag over your head and dispose of you.
City sticker plates gas tax and sales tax when you buy your car. What the fuck . Pritzger and rahmie are are assholes.
Pritzger s mileage tax would only apply to working tax payers. Welfare freeloaders would be exempt similar to the sugar tax.
I thought the tolls were the solution to fixing our high ways. Where is that money going and why do we need more taxes to fix the roads?
WTF.....and why should I pay a tax for the miles I drive to AZ for the winter. Can I turn the meter off for those 6 months?

And the dummies who hate Trump (because the Democrats tell them too) agree with this. I cannot imagine being so fucked up in the head as to hate policies that help our country and Americans like these idiots.
Look at the people running for office these days. Lots of socialists. What in the hell has to America? It's like everyone is in a stupid coma that they want this shit.
Idiots will vote for this billionaire blimp, JB. This fat fuck has spent his whole life shoving fists full of food in his fat fucking mouth and he wants to tax us per mile. Tax his gigantic ass per calorie he eats. That's the only way he would run out of money.
MAGA
I have more out of state “students” parked on my block than actual Illinois residents. I’m also sure “welfare” and “low income” families will be exempt too. F**k you JB.
Hey Pritzker they have a way of taking how many miles you drive and it taxes out of state drivers. It's called the gasoline tax you nitwit.
And let me guess, Vanecko and company will be selling these exclusive mileage tracking devices.
JB? Isn’t he the guy who removed the toilets in one of his mansions so that he could call it uninhabitable and have his taxes on the property reduced?
We shall see. I have no doubt JB will be elected gov but I wonder how many of his ideas will actually fly when he meets with the guy who actually runs the state..Mr Madigan
If you’re going to tax motorists, how about doing something to prevent the upcoming Kennedy Expressway protest?
We’re paying more for our holiday roads to be inconvenienced?!?
This is why they want every car to have its own I-pass. This state sucks
The Chicago City Council once considered a special tax on athletic shoes! It's true! So basically, if you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
I am comforted by knowing Pritzer is for real change in Illinois.

I like your idea. This tax would also reduce some health issues. Porcelain Prince is out of his rocker. Why don’t people see through his lies?
I swear, they are purposely wanting us to take drastic measures against them.
What has happened to this country? No freedom of speech, attack on the amendments, rioting and destruction of property, crime sky high, hate against the police. Can’t even trust the department of justice with their leadership conspiring due to their political views. It is starting to look like a third world country. People don’t even wanna accept the democratically duely elected presidency of Trump. It’s all so sad.
Leaving Illinois and Chicago seems like a really good idea all the time with these idiot Democrats in charge!
I will NOT feel bad about moving away when my time comes and feel like I have done a prison sentence in Chicago!
Fuck this place!
I'm retired in Tennessee now Thank God. But this state has an unusual approach to road tax and repairs. Unusual for Illinois anyway, all the money collected for road repair GOES TO ROAD REPAIR! They do not 'borrow' from this fund then look for money down the road. They use taxes as they were appropriated. Q:Are they going to tax out of towners too? Maybe raise the toll charge to $5.00!
Those Communist MF,S want to tax everything, no wonder people want to leave this shithole, and the fucking people keep voting Democrat!
Rauner would pay us minimum wage and get rid of our pensions if he could. Pritzker would have us paying for people to lazy to work just as long as they vote for him. We are screwed either way.
Yeah. Put you car in a very, very, close friends name who lives out of State and register it there. Maybe, just have him/her as a shared owner on the title, which would give you some protection.
This will be the last straw for many. The exidous of taxpayers will hasten the state bankruptcy. LOL
If you are holding any city or state bonds sell now before the it is to late.
U-haul has a good plan. Put arizona plates on all your vehicles. No wheel tax paid in illinois and no city stickers either.
The stupidity is overwhelming we already know rich fat boy does not like police,or people that respect the rule of law! Think about this fat pos actually truthfully bought a home in Lincoln park took out the toilets to get his taxes reduced, this is a scheming conniving clown,who is living on mommy's and daddy's money who own Hyatt hotel chain!
I'm definitely not a fan of Bruce, but Bruce is now hands down favorite,at least Bruce will not pander like this rich boy! Yes Bruce is wealth also but not eevn close to fat-asses wealth!
Be prepared to be monitored everywhere you travel by vehicle if this law is passed. We all know none of this information will ever be abused by anyone in power. I also got a bridge to sell you.
There would be massive flight out of Illinois. This state would be crushed financially with the exit of business and taxpayers. What about the massive money collected from the tollways? I’m guessing it goes to every other democratic pet project other than roadways. Rauner better inform the voters of Pritzkers tax idea.
$ocialism.. is a very expensive hobby.
Oxygen consumption tax ?
Quite the opposite, a carbon dioxide tax.
Every time you exhale the environment suffers.
It's for the children.
Hey J.B. I know this will sound like descrimination but why not start adding the state sales tax to lottery tickets? $2.18 for a Mega Million ticket or Power Ball. Do it J.B......Do It!
I bet this prick even stiffs the maids when he stays at a=one of the family's Hyatts. He was worth 2 Billion the day he was born. Democrat from the womb to the grave. You have to be a special kind of stupid to vote for Madigan for Governor. Anyone with an 1/16 of a brain knows Mike will be the puppet master.

The ISP are worthless. I actually saw a dump truck cut off an ISP SUV to get into the far left lane at 71st and the Ryan the other day. Truck lane restrictions are a thing of the past.
This will only be a tax on hardworking, law abiding common folk. The politically connected and criminal elements (often one in the same) will find ways around this tax by exemption or criminal activity (i.e. dismantling the black box). Hate to say it, but we are truly headed toward darker times in this state, if that's even possible. Rauner's ineptitude has basically handed Illinois over to the "progressive" left.

Tennesse plates are dirt cheap, Get a P. O. box there, Fuck the fat Bastard!
I know how to raise massive amounts of tax money. place a tax on every politician's lies. do so with the media. money will flood in. there would be plenty of money if we could get rid of half of these useless scum sucking politicians.

Hey dummy, how do you think you get a lot of your goods? Sure fuck the trucking companies and the case of water you buy for 2.99 at Walgreens will be 12.99. How about our asshole politicians actually budget and don't spend what they don't have. Stop all the freebies to dog asses who stay home and smoke weed and to illegals. No free rides. Work for what you want and stop raping the hard working tax payers.
I thought the outrageous gas tax on every gallon already taxed me for the miles I drive?
I live out of cook county and am retired now. People out here drive way longer to get to work. And People out in the boonies drive 30 miles one way to go to the grocery store. How is this a fair tax. I know its not...Maybe they can put the boxes in busy urban areas just like the clean air test debacle. If you live in Cook County or downstate near St Louis you have to test. Everywhere else you don't.
I have seen the future and it does not work. Another puppet billionaire in madigans army of henchmen will solve nothing. I am planning to leave Illinois...if they pass this anytime soon, it will speed up my plans. And btw...I think Pritzker will be on board to tax pensions in Illinois. Just wait till after the election. Real estate tax payers are not going to foot the bill for pensions in Illinois with out crying foul on the pensioners.
Just my two cents...
In about 15 minutes hacked versions of that device will be on sale "under the table" at flea markets and E Bay. Just like cell phone jammers. Once again our politicians will "excuse" themseleves from paying these taxes.
Democrats love raising taxes.
They get their rocks off doing it.
"Anyone know how we can register cars out of state?"
Sure - it's easy. Simply move to Wisconsin or Indiana or Michigan or... or Don't forget to take your car if IL hasn't already taxed it away from you.
I mentioned previously how Cook County had diverted collected vehicle use taxes for commurnity social programs and is being used by labor unions that were cheated out of County infrastructure projects because of that loss of funds.
IL already can’t pay the bills, still expanding every admin office, chasing manufacturing out, welcoming in illegals and benefit seeking jobless refugees. It’s a no brainer that IL will eventually run out of taxpayers.
Shows what direction IL is heading.
Mileage Tax is a California concept.
Large Noggin Smorgasbord Prickster has many ideas to tax the working people.
Wheres that gasoline tax revenue going?
Raising the Tollway fees recently wasn’t enough for road repairs?
They rebuilt I-88 and really hiked the tolls too.
Maybe if Blago gets out he can Change the system..
Plenty of ways to register a car elsewhere.
Seen an Iowa plate on a midget car few days ago with “Arena for Chicago” (Section8’Arena) stickers all over the back.
Apparently a professional 30 yr old perpetual student.
Seen this in 016 and frequently in hipsterville enclaves.
Slicksters never change their reg and use a P.O. Box or forward.
That’s one way.
Consider;
Dual ownership with grandparents, etc that live in FL or college kids name/dorm address.
Rent garage or shed space, register and insure your veh where it’s garaged.
– “If you drive a car, I'll tax the street...If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.”
Let me check J(ust) B(ullshit) policies he is running on—
1. More undocumented (democrats) immigrants
2. More taxes; for anyone with a job
3. Trump blah blah blah.... impeach...
It’s crazy this guy might win...
Trucks already are assessed a per mileage charge under the IFTA agreement (International Fuel Tax Agreement) between states. My heavy haul company has to report and pay road taxes quarterly on the daily mileage recorded by my drivers. Illinois charges $0.35 per mile, in addition to fuel tax, license, permits, city stickers, etc. Plus no matter how accurate we are, we always receive an audit at least once every two years. It's a complete pain in the ass. I would sell all of my trucks if I could to get out of the harassment from local cops, Motor Carrier Enforcement, DOT, roadside inspections, etc. And the customers continue to complain how expensive it is to transport an 80,000# machine because of all the mandated governmental costs.
I wonder if they could tax my U-Haul truck?
If JB gets in kiss your gun rights goodbye.
This means no more Sunday drives, or driving around to see the Christmas displays.
So....if you drive in another state you pay Illinois? Theft

You are conflating taxation with punitive fines for violations of laws, either prohibitive or compulsive in purpose.
Democrats do this all the time. Amongst many, many, many other feckless, traitorous, thugthinking, pilfering, pustulent puke practices.
In the realms of democrats, with their feebly cowered rino lackeys, hogs, who should be rightfully slaughtered, just keep on getting fatter.
This is Greed, Gluttony, Vanity, Avarice and Hubris, classical in all of their variants, Deadly Sins all, yet the hogs continue to wet fart their ways to the gorgings.
How can this be?
Law enforcement employees enforce the laws so constructed to provide the hogs with their daily gorgings.
Voters empower the hogs. Including some voters being feasted upon. And many voters being fed the slime drippings the hogs leave in their wake.
The well run machineries, lubricated by the remnants of taxpaying residents, continue unabated, as none have yet chosen to blow the fucking beast contraption to fucking hell.
The above possibility was amply forseen by Founding Fathers most wise.
Sovereign States under a Constitutional Republic is as good as it gets in diminishing the emergence of these greedy, hoggish creatures' thugocracies.
MAGA is the cure. Democrats are the infection.
The land endures, despite what may be currently infesting any given area.
Geographically, this area, currently bent and crooked, is at the top of desirable to inhabit. Great Lake, fertile soils, seasons most delightful, a veritable land of plenty, sans the hog infestations.
Will crook county ever be cleansed of this filthy plague of hogs?
This state is run by some sick democrats! Something like this would crush the state. The prosperous will just leave along with business. So many have fled Illinois already. Why is it all the red states have a budget surplus? This idea is dumb across the board and also an invasion of our privacy! Where’s all the tollway money going? You can bet it goes to other things besides the tollway. Wasn’t that tax supposed to be temporary?
They can calculate the tax when you go in for mandatory emission testing. You know, when they test the exhaust in the form of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide coming out of your tailpipe. If they plug into your computer they can get reams of information including your mileage for taxing purposes. Only allow your them to test your tailpipe 'cause that is where pollution can accurately be measured. Do your part to save the planet.
By the way, how many vehicle registrations have no drivers licenses, dates of birth or unique identifiers for collection agencies to put a brick on the uniquely identified vehicle owner for failing to pay this mileage tax, parking tickets or red light cameras revenue schemes.
If you driver's license is attached to a plate, collection agencies can ding your credit using your identifiers, compel you to pay under threat of reporting this debt with credit bureaus and make your insurance rates go up with a lower credit score which assumes greater risk.
So much for being a play by the rules registered citizen. Best not to have a d/l attached to your car like so many the undocumented drivers who get registration plates despite not being able to furnish proof of an operator's license.
Another brainstorm from California.
From the article, "The California Road Charge Pilot Program report included an overview of a just-finished road charge experiment that enlisted more than 5,000 volunteer drivers to have their mileage monitored over nine months of driving. Most volunteers used a device plugged into the vehicle’s data port that relied on wireless technology to transmit mileage information to a state contractor. The state then sent each driver a simulated monthly invoice, and drivers sent in online mock payments. State officials report that the project went well and is doable on a larger basis for the entire state driving population". https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article188694739.html
Alex Jones has been warning of this since way back 28 Oct 2014.

As cars become more fuel efficient states collect less revenue.
So that Toyota hybrid?
Yeah!
Enjoy the tax on the 50 mpg you just saved.
F! JB!
Create an LLC in Montana and you’re all set. Loophole hasn’t been closed and it’s perfectly legal. I’ve never set foot in Montana and both my cars are registered there. No sales tax for new vehicles and lifetime vehicle registration
Could be worse. In 2012, Maryland taxed the rain that fell on your property. Oh those Democrats.

But, still purchase that wheel tax sticker.
I am still puzzled that these corrupt Illinois democRATS are unashamed to show their faces, much more run for office, after putting the state of Illinois in a state of financial disaster. Then, "Fred Flintstone" Pritzker proclaims he is for real change. The only real change Illinois needs is for Fred Flintstone, 9.5, Prickwrinkle, Kimeesha, Mendoza and the remainder of the democRATS to take a flying leap. Until then, Illinois is doomed.
Tax the overweight semi-trucks make them pay by the mile who just route themselves around every weigh station plus many of them are never open like the one on Rte 30 indiana border and one in Elmhurst off Rte 83.
this was first discussed during clintons first admin.the epa forced car makers to use less fuel and low and behold people bought less gas and paid less tax for the same amount of miles. didnt have the tech for it then, real easy to do now with connected cars. wont be a box, your car will just report when queried and bill will be sent. usual suspects wont have to pay cuz day beez poo and shit. bigger problem on the horizon is the exit tax as proposed during the boy kings first term. when people start fleeing n.y. , illinois, and kalifornia as they certainly will, these govts have all discussed an exit tax. sorta like ordering lobster and leaving before dinner comes. their rational is we built that street, school, airport etc for you! you cant just leave without paying youre fair share. its for the chillruns after all. they devide the dept by the number of tax slaves and reach an amount you owe. currently that amount is 68,000.00 per escapee. where ever you move to the debt will be assigned to the dept of revenue in that state to put a brick on your property, assests or income. these are not new ideas. desperate people do desperate things. with the current crp of socialists on the ballot i believe these taxes will come to pass. dont think they will give you much warning either that would destroy property values. couple years ago people in crete i think woke up one day and 40% of their savings and pensions had been appropriated by their govt. people will say it cant happen here but who would have thought ten years ago hate groups would have the last say on police matters. times awastin, time to shop for a new state kids.

Perfect timing; I'm meeting with my tax attorney tomorrow. I may take your advice. Thanks.
Left cpd a few months ago as step 1. Will leave IL altogether in the next 4 years.
But at least im currently out of cook county .
The gas tax is a sort of mileage tax.
While drivers who drive more should pay more, they do in more gas tax.
A mileage logging device in every vehicle would require a tremendous support beurocracy.
An easier way to get the miles driven would be have to be entered on the plate renewal and confirmed by emissions test. Any effort to cheat would be penalized.
And there should be a license surcharge on hybrid vehicles.
Or the state could just learn to live within its means......
I have Texas TRP for sale for $100 😂
So if I do a lot of my driving out of state, I'll have to pay illinois a tax for those miles too?
Fatboy is the next governor.
The people of Illinois want this. They want Madigan to be in charge and they will get what they deserve.

Story is kinda true but you will get burned in the end. A friend did this buying a he’ll at. The State of Il sues him for the sales tax. It took 18 mos to catch up with him, but in the end they got their money.
"Gee...my odometer has been broke forever."
What is going to be interesting is what the elected gangsters are going to come up with exact Weregild out of electric cars.
The easiest way to register a car out-of-state is move. Illinois is going to have to bleed people dry to pay for stuff promised, but not saved for.
Vote fat man and state income tax will be 7% by 2022 , more illegals , crime ,higher sales ,real estate bills .
He wants more free crap and the working man can’t afford it any more .
Your car can be registered in any state as long as you buy the city sticker! My car had WI plates the last 10yrs and a Chicago city sticker never got a beef from the Inspectors or anyone else. All they care is you have the City sticker.
Just move to Florida where you have summer all year and I got double the house for my money with an inground pool in a gated community and my taxes are still 1/2 of what I paid for my shoebox on the NW side...Well looks like its Margarita time!
29 and a day. stay safe out there boys and girls.

What about that Hybrid Tax? It was proposed that the gas tax be dropped and a mileage tax be created. Nothing... But we all know that is frought with problems...(ie: politicians) Of course the ones most likely to be affected by the hydrid tax would be those rich enough to buy the car in the first place...so they basically use the roads for nothing....
