Good point - it is bad enough we in MA pay high gas taxes, excise tax on the value of the vehicle ($25/$1000), sales tax on the purchase price (5%), and outrageous non-competitive insurance. I'm sure that Taxachusetts will implement a per mile tax on our driving as soon as they can figure out a way to exempt their buddies, other politicians and any other protected group they can.
It used to be states got much of their revenue from smoking but so many have quit they have had to raise the cigarette taxes, forcing more people to quit. Now that people are buying fuel efficient vehicle they want to tax ME more for saving gas - insane!
