Obama didn't have the stones to ask for a gas tax increase.( most transparent administration ever. )
What difference would it have made if he had? The GOP would killed any such proposal in a New York minute because it would've been something that Obama wanted. Mitch McConnell told the truth when he said that the GOP's top priority was to make Obama a one-term president and I'll be damned if they didn't try and they carried that same attitude into Obama's second term, even though they knew Obama wouldn't be up for election again.
I totally support this. Road construction and repair should be paid for entirely from gas and vehicle registration taxes. It should not be funded from the general budget.
Thnak you, President Trump!
BULL!!!!!!!!
Just because someone doesn’t own a vehicle doesn’t mean they don’t benefit from infrastructure. Maybe they should pay a tax for not owning a vehicle instead of being freeloaders.

We should then BAN hybrid and electric vehicles and bicycles that use the roads but aren't paying their fair share of the burden. The only "fair" way is to tax by the mile driven, and not the gallon of fuel purchased.
So a daily commuter living in San Diego should have to pay for the lion's share of road construction/maintenance costs, state-wide, compared to some dude living on his homestead in the middle of nowhere who doesn't have to drive much?
Yes, I'm all for user taxes.

Um, they do pay the tax. The tax is reflected in the cost of food, clothing, and other items they purchase.

Um, he could have done it in his first 2 years. You remember, the time period where he said he had a mandate and would go it alone without the repubs? But then it's their fault for not working with him. (hint: It's both their faults)
Thanks rural truck driving Trump supporters. Go ahead and pay more taxes while I get big income tax breaks and work from home so pay nothing significant in gas tax.
"Hey JoeQ public- I'll give you a tax break for a while! ( okay let's slip some tax increases in here to pay for $hit, they'll never know... )
