you just gotta love it when tucker
carlson goes completely
beast mode on juan williams on fox now
tucker doesn't do a lot of shows outside
of his own show
he's promoting his own new thing and he
was on the five
he was hosting the five and just
destroyed juan williams in this exchange
so great to see juan's like low
information arguments
get completely roasted by tucker check
out this clip
it's amazing complete fire i think that
shows a lot of promise if we believe in
that so-called
user pays principle the idea that part
of how we pay for roads
is you pay based on how much you drive
the gas tax used to be the obvious way
to do it it's not anymore so
a so-called vehicle miles traveled tax
or mileage tax whatever you want to call
it
could be a way to do it
make poor people pay for it
but a judge now backtracking on those
comments saying no
a tax on miles driven is not even under
consideration
but juan williams of course it is he was
just discussing it what a liar
but it's the spirit behind it that i
can't get past it's like okay we're
gonna spend three trillion dollars no
tax can cover you could take everyone's
income in america and it wouldn't cover
that
as you well know but even the
idea that the poorest people in america
rural people people who drive for a
living and not goldman sachs and not
amazon
the poor people are going to pay for
what does that tell you about the
loathsomeness of their worldview
uh i would urge you to take a look at
the gas
tank next time you're filling up tucker
because we're ready all americans pay
tax on gasoline so we pay tax the more
we use
the car or the truck and the more gas we
put in so pay more
tax the over tax that is that your point
no no the reason
look the reason that uh pete butter
judge the transportation secretary
walked this back and i didn't think he
did so
quite aggressively is because the kind
of
alarm that you just raised is coming
from the trucking industry
is coming from people who live in rural
areas who have to drive more to get into
town
and that they don't want that fight they
think that that's that's not a fight
that's beneficial to the byte
administration as they go forward with
this look
if you're looking at new bridges new
highways
if you're looking at better broadband
bigger ports
everybody the trucking industry the car
industry
workers the wall street people all say
the gdp is going up they say this is
going to be great for the economy
the problem comes from republicans who
say oh but
how we pay for it you want to raise
taxes on the rich
okay and we don't want it we don't want
to drive up deficits
if we're not cutting taxes for the very
rich that's the only time they'll do
that
but they say oh no we don't all right
got it got it let me i gotta go to dana
here
got it
