These taxes are also viciously regressive -- that is, they take more as a percentage of disposal income from the least able to pay. After all, most of us have no choice about driving, regardless of our income. Why not a national fuel tax based on usage ?? Earmark the revenue for subsidizing investments in alternatives and conservation/efficiency initiatives .. Give every registered vehicle or licensed driver the first 500 gallons of annual consumption at a very nominal per gallon tax and then increase the tax for each additional 100 gallons used .. It would encourage consumers to purchase more efficient vehicles and it would place the tax on those best able to pay ie Hummer owners .. Triff ..
