I was wondering if there was a rational argument..
The debate about the gas tax was depressing to me in that it seemed that Hillary Clinton had banked her only real chance on the premise that the American public is so stupid that they would go for this. We will see today if this "gamble" worked. After all George Bush was elected and then astonishingly re-elected, so maybe she is right. Since ever economist was against this, it had no chance of being passed and even less of having the wind fall tax added to this (so by chance it was passed then it would only rob the care of the roads), I wanted to see if an intelligent defense could be made of this. If this was given to me to defend, is there another side? Not really. This article tried it, it seemed wanting to me.
