Also, the extra tax revenue could be put toward improving public transportation options and infrastructure, making it easier to avoid driving and the corresponding high price of gas.

The only thing wrong with this is it does not allow politicians the opportunity to steal and spend other peoples money.

What I would support is GM's demise, the sooner the better. After that ridiculously obvious pay-off to the unions last year, I won't be buying a GM or Chrysler unionmobile. Carbon, smarbon. It's all made-up political b.s. anyway. No, I would not support a larger gas tax.

Thing of all the companies which would just love to move their business to US, where the cost of business would dramatically go up with the new taxes. I mean, everyone loves paying more, right? Sarcasm off... BTW, shouldn't we first lower the unemployment back to 5% - and only then allow the liberals to destroy the rest of our economy?
