I
wonder if Connecticut Taxpayers understand that the Connecticut
Democrat Party loves taxes. If they could every aspect of Connecticut
Taxpayer’s lives would be taxed, from miles driven in their personal and
business vehicles along with the air they breathe. From every time
they flush their toilets to every morsel of food they eat in order to
survive in this economic wasteland of a state.
Our Legislature
(whether sober or not) satisfied our Executive Order Governor by
passing yet another transportation toll tax this time on our trucking
industry.
Part of the House Bill 6688 summary is quoted below:
“Beginning
January 1, 2023, this bill imposes a highway use tax (HUT) on every
“carrier” for the privilege of operating, or causing to be operated,
certain heavy, multi-unit motor vehicles on any highway (i.e., public
road) in the state. The HUT is calculated based on a vehicle’s weight
and the number of miles driven in the state. The bill establishes
per-mile tax rates that increase based on vehicle gross weight, ranging
from (1) 2.5 cents per mile for vehicles weighing 26,000-28,000 pounds
(lbs.) to (2) 17.5 cents per mile for vehicles weighing more than 80,000
lbs. Revenue from the tax is directed to the Special Transportation
Fund (STF) (see BACKGROUND). Under the bill, carriers must file returns
and remit the tax to the Department of Revenue Services (DRS) on a
monthly basis. The bill requires carriers to obtain HUT permits from DRS
and establishes procedures for suspending or revoking them. It also
applies to the HUT various collection, enforcement, and appeals process
provisions that apply to other taxes under existing law. The bill
authorizes the DRS commissioner to adopt implementing regulations for
the HUT and prohibits tax credits from being applied against the HUT.
*House Amendment “B” exempts certain motor vehicles transporting milk.”
My
question to the Connecticut Democrat Party is who is actually going to
pay this toll tax? What does the “Special Transportation Fund” do for
Connecticut Taxpayers? What makes the fund “Special”? Does the
Connecticut Democrat Party think that the trucking industry will just
eat this toll tax and not pass it on to consumers through much higher costs
for all the products that are delivered in the state? Does the
Connecticut Democrat Party understand the amount of products that come
into the state are by trucks of these sizes? Do they think our state
economy is self-sufficient and does not need to have anything shipped
into the state? Why in the middle of an economic recession would they
want to raise prices for all consumers in the state?
We as
Connecticut Taxpayer’s will never get any answers to these questions.
The Connecticut Democrat Party loves to tax anything and everything in
our state. This new truck toll tax will down the road be argued for all cars
in the state (with plenty of exemptions written for Connecticut
Democrat Party members and their donors to their party) since cars will
probably be made a scapegoat for “damage” made to state roads. The same
state roads that we see hayfields growing on the side of them since the
grass seems only to be cut once a season.
Maybe the
trucking industry will teach the Connecticut Democrat Party a lesson and
boycott delivering to the state. Maybe the Connecticut Democrat Party
will tell Connecticut Taxpayers to grow their own food like they do in
Venezuela. So we won’t be dependent on trucks.
We can
really make Connecticut like a Third World Nation/Banana Republic that
Ned Lamont, the state run media and the Connecticut Democrat Party so
desperately want to have and control for their personal financial gains
and power. Welcome to much higher prices for everything coming very
soon. Thanks to our Supreme Rulers in Hartford, the Connecticut Democrat Party.
