That's right. It's the poor (just a generalization) that will suffer the most from a huge gas tax. Can't buy new cars; stuck driving 15 year old jalopys, which cart them the miles from their home to their minimum wage jobs. I know, it's maddening to see all these pseudo-riche in their big ass SUVs adding all the stupid shit that money can buy, but a lot of us drive SUVs. In some cases, we use them according to their purpose and in some cases a 15 year old bronco is all we can afford.

To be fair, we do a lot to protect the oil over there. To paraphrase Jon Stewart; We deserve the employee discount.
