projo.com— Reality: If miles driven are taxed, then people stop driving, then that means less gas taxes collected, less tolls paid, that means less tax dollars. Smart move, you morons in Rhode Island!

I'm laughing my ass off at these imbeciles. It's like a couple of RIslanders commented on the web site. When most of the state populace is either on the government dole (i.e. welfare), smoking crack or peddling the stuff, revenue tends to drop off and therefore the politnichiks have to go after the few remaining productive folks for money. Another commented this is the paradise they've wound up with after 70 years worth of democrat control. I'm afraid that we've created a society of mobile, educated idiots. They are utterly destroying their own states by continuously voting for the same old political whores and prostitutes, and then after they get sick of the sewer they've created for themselves, they move elsewhere and start the same insane process all over again. I live in a red state that is next door to an ice-cold blue state, and I see that bulls**t happening here. Stupid is as stupid does. (Sorry I got off on a bit of a tangent here.)
more taxes and tolls as well as increases on ones already in place. i seem to remember a group of individuals rising up in revolution against people who taxed them unfairly and at far lower rates than the ones we see today...
I live in Providence, and I can say that keeping a low mileage in RI is really easy.. I drive more than 15 minutes maybe once every two months. more than 10 minutes about twice a month. Everything is really close together. I don't agree with the tax on mileage, but at least it wouldnt effect me very much. However, tollbooths at every interstate state border would be horrible. If you've never been to RI, heres what its like. half of your family lives in either MA or CT. Anywhere you are in RI, including the islands you are no more than 15-20 minutes from another state. Crossing the border is inevitable. MA and CT near the borders people constantly come to RI for various things, and that would stop. People in RI would be very restricted and be constantly taxed during commutes. One more thing. The borders with MA are absolutely insane with traffic already.
