EVs get massive tax subsidies to convince people to buy them, but their owners don't pay gasoline taxes, for the obvious reason that they never have to fill up.
A mileage tax would capture all drivers, no matter what fuels their cars.
Look more closely, and the VMT tax is perhaps one of the most insidious tax ideas ever devised.
To start, a VMT tax would be incredibly complicated and costly to impose.
The American Transportation Research Institute found that replacing the fuel tax with a VMT tax that uses GPS devices "could result in collection costs of more than $20 billion annually - about 300 times higher than the federal fuel tax.
Of course, there's the fact that a VMT would almost certainly be added on top of the gas tax, not as a replacement.
Climate alarmist view the gas tax as a sin tax and will never let it go.
