Description
There has been a new proposal brought to the public's attention by the United States Transportation Secretary, regarding the taxes that motorists pay. This proposal considers taxing motorists on how many miles they drive, rather than how much gasoline they actually go through. There has been a lot of negative feedback regarding this proposal, and many also feel that is could be a long term solution to help and to benefit the United State's transportation system. This tax, if passed, could help keep the highways up to date, and also keep them as safe as possible. There are many pros and cons that go along with this proposal, and the country's current economic state has a lot to do with it. The public most defiantly has their own opinions about this matter, and many things need to be weighted and considered when deciding on this proposal.
