Not the way it works. 25 cent tax on fuel and I will only use grocery's as an example ....every single item in your store will go up,forget about your coupons ....it will all go up,it will get passed on to the consumer as will airline fairs and let us not forget USPS,UPS,FED-EX and..................................AMAZON do you people really thing that these companies will pay this and not pass it on in high prices for everything else???Tax cut my butt trump just played all of you.
It would raise the costs of good, the question I have is why do liberals get all giddy if it were carbon tax?
There hasn't been a federal fuel tax increase since the early 90's which is set at about 18 cents. Adjusted for inflation it should be 34 cents. The roads are in poor shape and it's badly needed, one important thing to understand is one of the big costs is the bridges which were all built in the 60's and early 70's. Many of them are due for replacement or major repairs simultaneously.
This is hot potato issue that neither side of aisle wants to touch because of the inevitable "Joe raised your gas taxes" commercials.... They will continue to ignore the issue by propping up the Highway Trust fund with general funds.
On a side note I can't believe I'm arguing with liberal to raise taxes. In this case it's quite clear they need to go up.

.....and by the way ...I am republican.
So what is the state tax on gas doing?
Leftists are such hypocrites. When their Progressive states do it they love it, just because Trump said this they all of a sudden hate it. What morons.
It don’t matter if Trump proposed a dollar a gallon increase, his supporters will shriek with joy about paying more at the pump. Meanwhile Trump will continue to gut programs that help the poorest Americans while giving huge tax breaks to billionaires, and his poor white trash supporters will say “Thank you Mr President for all you have done for billionaires!â€
You figure them out, I can’t.
Even the GOP isn't stupid enough to believe that would work...
And he won't get his .25 increase either
ah another tax that disproportionately hits TRUMPS RURAL BASE!!!!
At this point i am wondering if Trump is doing it on purpose. Almost like he is angry they actually elected him, it is like he is purposely targeting rural folk time and time again.
A flat gas tax is much much more costly once you leave the suburbs...
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!
They need to find a way to hit up the electric car people too.
I would be ore concernted with the existing taxes that are in PA which are way worse than anything the govt can throw at us. Do you realise the state has raised its taxes on about everything more than 22 times in the past 5 years. PA one of the poorest states around where people barely get by already hits people with sales taxes, income taxes, borough taxes, taxes for being a human, business proveledge taxes, water taxes, sewer taxes and taxes on anything any everything and then some. Now add on all the state and town projects that you ay or may not get bills for. Add on the fees for the schools in your areas where if they are like our have too many schools in small areas and not enough students. This place is tax hell.
"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... )
Way to go you Conservative guy you!
oh boy -- add that to the taxes state governments want to add to fund infrastructure...and we are are rolling in more and more taxes. WOO HOO.
