Only two days in office and the Biden administration is already considering breaking President Biden’s campaign promise that “anyone making less than $400,000 a year won’t pay a penny more” in taxes.

During his Senate confirmation hearing for Transportation Secretary, Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg told members of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee that a gas tax increase is “on the table” as a means to pay for infrastructure spending.

When asked directly by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) if he supported increasing the gas tax and by what amount, Buttigieg replied, "I think all options need to be on the table, as you know, the gas tax hasn't been increased since 1993 and it's never been pegged to inflation."

“There are several different models, in the short to medium term that could include revisiting the gas tax, adjusting it, and or connecting it to inflation," Buttigieg continued when pressed by Sen. Scott to provide more detail.

Probably shit too. Fags who end up in political positions usually are on tape eating shit, raping children, killing someone, etc.

Someone should "Pelosi" his laptop.

It's not on his laptop. It's somewhere he can never get to it. He knows they have it and he knows they own him. No one ends up in a Presidential Cabinet without being under some kind of control.

Buttplug will do his damnedest. Like the cigarette taxes, this isn’t about “muh environment,” this is about more money out of our pockets.

Beyond tax increases, Biden is already taking steps which will reduce the supply of oil. That will also increase prices.
