Paul R. Ehrlich Quotes
You take the huge income that comes with a big gas tax, and you use it to pay off regressive taxes like the FICA [Federal Insurance Contributions Act] tax.

You want to send the message that people want to be as efficient as possible using gasoline until we can transition away from that need entirely.
