We havent even gotten into the weeds here, and already lets recap.

Theyre probably at parks, rest stops, and other areas where people congregate with vehicles.

Lets call this what it is, a way to get attention.

Dozens of publications wrote about this incredibly stupid piece of legislation.

These people will throw money at him to get reelected, which is likely his actual goal.

Whip up anger, get attention, fundraise on the anger, repeat.

Its essentially how politics work.

Remind people that taxes are used at locations that not every citizen can or will use.

For example, rest stops.

Ive been to maybe three rest stops in the past 20 years.

Im paying taxes for a thing I never use.

Those EV chargers are patriotic.

They use electricity generated in this country.

Those utility companies are full of US workers.

Im also paying for all those schools I keep seeing around town.

I dont have kids.

Why should I be subsidizing the decisions of humans that decided to breed?

I could go on and on about the things Im paying for that I never use.

Actually, yes, it is.

We pay taxes to help fund a functioning society.

Lets talk a bit about infrastructure.

Electricity is pretty much everywhere.

You guessed it, electricity.

Putting a gas pump, well, thats going to require digging a hole.

Oh, then you have to put a tank in that hole.

Oh, and dont forget the large tanker truck required to put more gasoline into that tank.

Plus, the free gas.

Well, its not just going to be folks bringing their kids to the park to play.

Once that free gas news gets out, the entire state will line up.

Its going to cost taxpayers a few cents an hour when in use.

Its going to bankrupt the town.

Those EV chargers are patriotic.

They use electricity generated in this country.

Those utility companies are full of US workers.

Well, thats a whole ball of wax that may or may not be supplied by US oil companies.

Building Infrastructure

Ok, this argument probably won’t help you, but its true.

The range added is a nice bonus to your day.

Its more important that those thinking about EVs see charging stations out in the world in places they visit.

Sadly we cant ignore attention-grabbing politicians like Moss.
