Mine was that the fake MSM meme of "electric vehicles don't pay gas taxes" is wrong on two levels - one, there are very very few electric vehicles - two, most of the electric vehicles are ALREADY EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.

Follow the large numbers. There's your missing money.

It's not baffling at all. They use the roads and don't pay gas tax.

Why do you write like that? Care to actually commit to an actual point this time? I'd love to know what you're talking about.

What we need is a sales tax on gas, with money going to the general fund. And an increase in transit spending.

Also, unnoticed by many is the growing number of vehicles that don't pay a gas tax.

No, not electrics. Very few of those.

Follow the large numbers.
