Political Factoid

  • The gasoline tax is highly regressive.
     
  • It hits the poor more than the rich.
     
  • It has regional biases:
     
    1. More money goes for big bridges
      and highways near cities where
      there is more traffic volumes.
       
    2. The gasoline tax is collected
      where it is sold, not where it
      is used.
