A Black Falcon Wrote:$0.40 in gas taxes? Should be a lot higher, like Europe... raise them slowly though so you don't kill the economy. Republicans of course will never do that... live in the moment, don't think about tomorrow... but it will come, and we should have been seriously working on converting away from gasoline for some time now.
In opposition to the usual Democrat solution for everything: Throw money at it until it goes away for now! Demcrats are all about the quick fix.
I don't think extra taxes are necessary because people are feeling enough hurt as it is. Although I do think that this will cause havoc in the SUV market and drive the Hybrid market to great heights, and there's nothing but good to come of that.
(And let me specify that while on the surface, ABF and I agree on that matter, we differ in that he supports forcing this change on people, when you'll see that when circumstances change, people will do it on their own.)
