How about considering a dollar a gallon gas tax (at the pump) that is then returned to the taxpayer either in a rebate or through a tax cut. Drivers can then either use their refund to subsidize their gas-guzzling or chose to buy a more fuel efficient car and spend the savings on something else. Good in theory. In practice, however, as that dollar make its way down the State/Federal Capitol lobbies, how many cents will be left intact? After all, even for the wellfare program, a fund theoretically designated for the poorest of poor, out of every dollar spent, only 13 cents actually reach the designated recipients, the rest having been lost in the paper shuffle. Now we are talking about a a refund to "rich" infidels who drive their "rich brats" in "unconsciounably humongous" SUV's. Besides, why should people live in the country side and have to commute long distance subsidize who live in the cities and keep monstrous garage queens.
