As the driver of an electric vehicle, I feel this is at the very least, discriminatory. Beyond that, it's a clear gimme to the oil and gas industry given the subsidies they receive. Worse still, the $7,500 tax credit is unavailable to all electric car purchasers (myself included), given the phase out, yet they want to tax me yearly for my vehicle. I already pay taxes and fees on the electricity I use to drive my car. Lastly, how can they reconcile this with internal combustion engine cars (like my second vehicle, a Prius) that get nearly double the fleet average in fuel economy?
Oil and gas subsidies? Letting people that extract oil and gas deduct some of their expenses?
Liberals want me to pay more for my gas. I don't want to pay more for my gas. People also don't want to pay more to heat their homes. Liberals, you are not helping us.
