The case FOR a larger gas tax
People are addicted to gasoline. They admit it:
http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/2006-05-15-conserve-usat_x.htm Most Americans aren't likely to make big cuts in gasoline use
Oil companies know this, and they'll milk our addiction for all its worth (to us).
Maybe someday the government will learn the same lesson?
Unfortunately, it'll take a pretty big gasoline tax to eat into the government's addiction to spending - and current $600B annual deficit!
