" I have NEVER been in favor of a gasoline tax. Why?? The government will just waste the proceeds - or give it to the banks to malinvest. "

Totally true. However, Simpson Boles is an example of where a comprehensive plan is put in place - gasoline taxes are to me more attractive than an income tax. Further, I think a national sales tax is better than more income tax. Too many people do not pay tax. A sales tax is one way to get revenue from everyone.

Any "grand compromise" will require getting the pigs from the trough as part of the deal.
