3) I am against doing nothing!

Americans complain about high gas prices while paying about half the price paid by Europeans. Notice that most Europeans drive fuel-efficient vehicles, while Americans drive miniature dinosaurs for purposes of conspicuous consumption or social conformance.

The more we waste gas:
– The more depend on foreign oil
– The more we empower despots in oil-rich middle eastern kingdoms
– The more likely we are to risk our troops overseas
– The more we risk global warming
- The less we leave for our children

Principle: whatever is subsidized increases, and what is taxed decreases. Suppose we
1) Decreased income taxes
2) By the *exact* same amount we increased gas taxes
3) Over a 5 year period

Results:
1) Incentive for entrepreneurs to develop prototypes for alternative energy
2) Fewer gas hogs
3) More oil for our children

What do you think?
Gustavo – so far you have the only non-cynical answer.

I would like to agree with you, but I don’t see what benefits your idea would bring.

Whereas, if we shifted taxes, there would be some benefit.

Can you state what benefit our society would experience if we followed your idea?

And for the other answers so far, are you going to give up before even trying to accomplish something? Big business might be powerful, but it is not omnipotent.
Tehawba – you gave the most reasoned objection yet.

That does not mean I agree with you, merely that you thought more about it than the rest.

– First, many of the very poorest currently don’t drive: they use the bus or the subway. These people would come out *way* ahead, since they get lower taxes with no extra costs.

– Second, for those who can currently can barely afford to maintain a car, they would start taking the bus, along with some middle class folks who want to save money.

-Third, as more people stopped driving, public transportation and bicycles would become more viable.

What would really happen is that poor people would simply find alternative means to get to work, or move closer.

Even if that didn’t happen, it still would be possible to decrease poor people’s income taxes enough that it would compensate for their increased fuel costs.

I would have been happier had you proposed some alternative rather than advocating doing nothing, which is guaranteed to be bad.
Tehawba – the more I think about it, the more I realize that this is not a tax on the poor, but rather a tax on stupidity and inflexibility.

Who will pay more? Why, it will be those people who are too stupid or inflexible to change their commuting behavior, which is just fine by me.

Meanwhile, think about Europe, where they have already adopted the system I am proposing.

Have the European poor been driven deeper into poverty by high gas costs? Answer: “no”, because the poor in Europe are smarter or more flexible than you.
