I don't generally approve of tax increases, but a huge increase in gas tax makes a lot of sense. Proposing it is political suicide, even for the craziest Democrats. John

It's a great recessive tax, though the government doesn't need any more money. It'll just go even further in debt.

It's not recessive. The tax on every gallon would be the same. Poor folk could even buy Regular and pay less tax than rich folk who buy Premium. They could even buy small, high-mileage cars. John

Sorry, "regressive". >The tax on every gallon would be the same. That's like saying a flat tax isn't "regressive" (technically it's neutral, but...) >Poor >folk could even buy Regular and pay less tax than rich folk who buy >Premium. They could even buy small, high-mileage cars. The tax today is per gallon, not percentage. "Poor folk" often have old beaters, which are more often than not gas-guzzlers. But that doesn't alter the fact that the government spends far too much money now. They don't need more smack. |
