The government massively subsidizes that Honda Civic. Massive energy credits to the oil firms, special breaks for oil discovery, a huge military budget to guard Middle East supplies etc. Right out of our pockets.

Not to mention the "soft" costs. All that money we spend gassing up that Civic goes right into the coffers of Irans nuke program, Saudi religious nuts, South American dictators.

9/11 - paid for by that Honda Civic.

Add it all up and that Honda Civic gets very expensive. And a threat to national security.

The whole car-oil complex is courtesy of massive tax subsidies. There's nothing more tax-payer funded and socialistic than driving an SUV down a highway.
