There's no question a gas tax would be a regressive tax that would hurt poor people the most. It's an evil worth having. The poor have already had to deal with $3 a gallon gas - they can deal with it. They already did.

I don't think it has to be $3. The US consumes 130 billion gallons of gas per year. Unless I did my math incorrectly, a fifty cent tax on every gallon sold would generate $65 billion per year. That's a lot of moola.
