Re: "I don't know about adding a $2 tax to gasoline. That would cut down on ...driving probably," Of COURSE it would. (Still, it would have to be phased in... it would be unfair to do it all at one. People need time to change behaviors.) "but it would also give the government more money to spend instead of returning it to the people" No. Every proposal I've seen for this included a tax rebate for EVERY DIME of the new gas tax revenue, or an income tax credit of the same amount.
