Here a Tax, There a Tax

Once again, ZERO proposals to actually cut government spending and instead, create a new tax!

• As engines become more fuel efficient, and electric vehicles make greater inroads , Illinois faces an unexpected consequence — less funding for roads.

  The motor fuel tax helps pay for road, bridge and public transit improvements throughout Illinois. Now, though, vehicles require less gas — or no gas at all — so funding for infrastructure has taken a hit.

Golly, saving the environment sure gets expensive!

Of course not. Illinois pols have never ever eliminated a tax. And with Fata$$ welcoming all sorts of illegals and tranny refugees, he's going to need every dime he can pry out of Illinois' shrinking tax base.

This is just "a study" at this point, but rest assured, with other blue state shitholes already doing it, you can expect it here shortly. 

You didn't expect them to tax bicyclists, did you?
