Federal Gas Tax Increase a Definite Possibility

Michael thanks for writting about this. At least this idea is in the right direccion however, I do not think the thought you present is the one to use. No! not in my logic and I do not understand why most people don't see what I see. Forget about tolls, tax on licenses or other, just go to the point where it make sense. Tax oil. Let say 100 % on any increase over $50 dollars a barrel. Why? No matter what way you look, this will benefit us because regarless oil will increase in price and if we do not do it, the canadiens, the arabes and the other foreiners will get our money. (In most cases the multinational wealth is concentrated around just a few}
We need to reduce consumption, we need better vehicles so we do not carry death loads, we need to make cities smallers, we need to innovate on public transportation and housing so we can live together and let the ground around the cities to produce.
There will be other measures to take, for example industrial or veihicular consumption of natural gas or liquid propane, tax them extra in the same way when they use these because gas need to be primarily for homes.
Please let other to see the overall picture because as today individually our minds are brain washed by this psicology of consumerism and politics.(080109)
