High price through market forces = rip off.
High price through exorbitant taxes = good policy.

Yes, of course.

Tim,

Yup, interesting point. BTW, if the high gas taxes were to offset some other taxes to be revenue neutral, you could make a case for them, but OTOH, there is an argument that the government should not be picking winners and losers. The market should. By that theory, all consumption taxes should be equal.
