The federal government collects 18 cents per gallon of fuel pumped, which hasn’t been raised sine 1993. You create a carbon tax to offset the EV implementation for a green infrastructure plan.
Your statement was no model 3 gets 350 mile range, which was refutiated with a quick look at the Tesla website. You don’t have to google everything, but when you make non factual statements, you tend to lose credibility with your arguments. Unless you’re in politics of course.

In Texas, gasoline and diesel fuel are subject to a 20-cent tax per gallon. In addition, the federal government imposes taxes of 18.4 cents per gallon on gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon on diesel fuel.tarting July 1, California drivers will be paying 50.5 cents per gallon for the gasoline excise tax, up from 47.3 cents per gallon presently. For those who drive a diesel car, the excise tax will jump to 38.5 cents per gallon, up from the current 36 cents. According to the Los Angeles Times, this is the third gas tax increase in the last four years.
When you factor in other state taxes and fees and the federal excise tax of 18.4 cents per gallon, Californians will pay 82.2 cents per gallon in taxes every time they fill up starting July 1. Diesel motorists will pay roughly $1.13 per gallon in government taxes.
According to the American Petroleum Institute, California drivers already paid the highest total gas taxes in the nation, ahead of second-place Pennsylvania at 77.1 cents per gallon. This latest gas tax increase will only solidify a number 1 ranking that no one should be proud of..
The gas-tax hike will push the state’s per-gallon levy to over 50 cents. The tax has increased more than 36 cents in the past five years.
According to NJ Department of Treasury officials, the higher tax on gasoline sales will ensure adequate funding for road, bridge and rail improvements, even as fuel consumption has sagged during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The increase is being made under terms that were set in a 2016 state law that overhauled the way New Jersey finances transportation-infrastructure spending.
Washington state drivers could wind up paying $1 per gallon for fuel taxes if lawmakers approve an 18-cent gas tax boost and carbon fees proposed Tuesday by state House Democrats.
The $27 billion, 16-year program would invest more in maintenance than previous statewide packages did. It would fund replacement of fish-blocking road culverts and the electrification of diesel ferries, a top priority for Gov. Jay Inslee.
But the package comes amid the COVID-19 economic slump, while small businesses and laid-off workers suffer financial distress.

The only gotcha is weight, which translates to structure... it has to be very light, so consequently it can't handle any weather or significant turbulence. So you have to launch on a nice day and climb to the stratosphere. And then you need to be somewhere that thunder-bumpers don't top about 50K. You don't have much energy reserves or speed to dodge anything.

California must be broke.
They sent me a automobile registration bill from 1994 and wanted my auto registration paid up in full for every year since 1994. Moved out of state in 1995. 1994 was the last year I had to register the vehicle there. In 2000 the vehicle was totaled in the state of Texas when I loaned the vehicle to a friend of mine. CA wanted "proof" of some sort that vehicle "totaled." I was confused...the act of moving out of state and registering vehicle in another state should be more important than the wreck. Then I found out why....They wanted to charge me for the years 1995 to 2000. Played "fun n games in the mail." until they got tired or bored. Then, I re-initiated contact with them asking for an official letter from CA informing me that they had officially dropped the matter. Funny, they wanted a copy of the accident report. I replied "i was not in an accident, someone else was, that is the person to whom you need to get the accident report from." Those idiots...
Don't go on defense... Go on offense.

Example of taxpayer nonresident’s community income
Jack and his wife Patty live in California. Jack signs a two-year contract to perform services in Saudi Arabia. Patty stays in California with the children. Jack meets the definition of nonresident under R&TC §17014(d). However, because he is still domiciled in California, one-half of his wages are taxable to Patty because she is a resident of California

You can try to back pedal all you want, but when you blame the political landscape turning blue on “migrants from south of the border” everyone knows you are blaming brown people. It’s actually kind of pathetic that you are saying it and then acting like that’s not what you said.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe good fences make good neighbors, we should finish the wall, and deport people who immigrate illegally.
But your explanation is both wrong and racist.
The political landscape is turning blue because of Americans flirting with socialism. Bernie Sanders was the only Democratic candidate in 2016 who wanted “free” everything. Four years later and all of the Democratic candidates were for “free” everything and higher taxes.
Bernie Sanders actually won the election because he turned the Democrats into full on Socialists and if we are stereotyping, it was the white suburban college grad liberals who voted for it.

I’m not backpedaling anything. Anyone can go back and read the specific words I wrote. And I stand behind them. Politics is secondary to culture. This has always been true. And the culture south of the border is one of being taken care of. How do I know, because I’ve lived there and my entire family is from there. Yes, I’m Latino and have family from different countries in central and South America. I speak Spanish as my first language and had to learn it when I came back here, grew up in a poor Mexican American community and understand why many have that mentality there, or at least the ones who leave and come here because I’m one of them. So you can throw the racist word at me if you want, it doesn’t phase me. I’ve been called worse. Did you even watch the 5 minute video I posted from a Guatemalan woman explaining all this? Again, this isn’t a new phenomena. It’s been going on for decades and decades.
People everywhere have a culture, politicians morph into that in order to get or keep their job. It’s not the other way around. Politicians don’t make people socialist, it’s the other way around. Yes, many Democrats have always leaned in the direction that government is the answer to all problems. And it’s that mentality that is being brought here from south of the border. And that is a major reason why the western states went from being places of Nixon, Regan, Goldwater to what they are now. It’s not mystery why the western states have gone or are tilting blue.

This is true. There are exceptions, like Cubans. Although that may be changing as the Castro generation dies. But in general, Latinos vote D about 60/40, (that’s being generous). And when they have immigrated here in the tens of millions, predominantly settling in the western states, it makes a difference in the voter base.
