      The gas tax is regressive, penalizes lower/middle class, and a poor means of funding transport infrastructure. Raise other taxes if need be.

          Fund transit by other means. No reason why it has to be connected to the gas tax.

          There are qualitative characteristics unique to the gas tax that make raising it good policy

          disagree. Important to tax in line with use, incentives matter. Raise gas taxes and lower other taxes on the poor to compensate.

          Instead of raising taxes, it sure would be nice if gov. tried lowering spending for a change.

          @Ricky_Vaughn99 Here in GA we pay ad valorem tax on value of our cars when we renew plates. Gas taxes are supposedly lower.

          @Ricky_Vaughn99 Ad valorem tax can then be deducted on federal tax return if you itemize deductions.

          Pigouvian taxes rule. Way better super high. Make overall tax code more progressive to balance out any increase.
