Trust fund socialists in the US could easily propose $10/gal gas tax if they liked. The problem is, our governments at the state and local let alone the Federal level aren't designed to take advantage of that to accomplish anything. They'd piss it away on SWAT teams and 40 lane highways and the War on Drugs. Or just outright steal it. First you need some reliable way of doing something with the funding stream. Assuming of course you want to and you're not one of those retarded apocalyptic types who just want to see people suffer because it's good for mother earth.
