Winsome Earle-Sears is running for Governor of Virginia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Virginia_gubernatorial_election

She wants to get rid of the car tax:

This is the dumbest tax plan EVER.

  • Virginia residents who own a car get millions in cuts 💰

  • Virginia residents who are car-free get nothing ❌

Who comes up with this non-sense🤦?

Only 3 states Delaware, Montana, and New Jersey raise enough revenue from cars to fully cover their highway spending. The remaining 47 states must make up the difference with tax revenues from other sources

By diverting general funds to roadway spending, the burden of paying for the roads falls on all taxpayers, including people who drive very little or may not drive at all.

You don't have to pay taxes on your car if you don't drive it on public roads.
