I'm not generally one for tax increases...

...but this one is worth doing just to prove a point.

And by gum, let's not limit ourselves to "National Drive Around Aimlessly and Just Burn a Tank of Gas for the Environment Day." Let's have "The Great American Year of Driving Everywhere, Including to the Mailbox." Every little bit helps, you know.

I read somewhere that we could add a $1.00/gallon tax to motor fuels and collect enough money to do away with the income tax.

Of course, the politicians would not do so since one can never give up a tax.

And there's the rub--just think how long it took to get rid of that Spanish-American War telephone tax.
