Federal auto taxes at record high level
Federal taxes on highway transportation will total over 150 million dollars in 1941 at current rates, with about 350 million from emergency gasoline taxes. The first federal gasoline tax began in 1932 and, despite aims to repeal, has been extended. States levy heavy gasoline taxes totaling near one billion dollars in 1941, making motor fuel the most taxed commodity. If retail sales were taxed like gasoline, federal revenue would exceed four billion annually. Evidence from George Goode of the Truckmen of Missouri.
