According to Rep Oberstar (D-MN) the VMT is inevitable. He believes the tax could be implemented within a couple years. Oberstar is the House Transportation Chair.  VMT would be a personal invasion demanding the installation of a GPS tracking device in each vehicle so Big Brother can track your every step. Not only that but think of the additional cost to each of us. But don’t worry, Obama and the Dhimmis are going to cut your taxes. Obama promised to cut taxes for every American earning less than $250,000 annually.

The tax would entail equipping vehicles with GPS technology to determine how many miles a car has been driven and whether on interstate highways or secondary roads. The devices would also calculate the amount of tax owed.

“At this point there are a lot of things that are under consideration and there is also a strong need to find revenue,” Oberstar spokesman Jim Berard said. “A vehicle miles-traveled tax is a logical complement, and perhaps a future replacement, for fuel taxes.”

That last phrase is hilarious don’t you think? When has government EVER eliminated a tax?
