Where's all the other tax which is already too high going? How has the country been able to pay for critical infrastructure in past centuries? How will the working class people who have to drive everyday and can't work from home unlike the rich tech people pay these bills?
Respectfully, your profile says "In search of projects with maximum positive impact with zero financial return." which tells me you are already financially sufficient and won't be impacted by this. The workers like nurses, delivery, uber, manual labour etc who has to drive everyday gets pounded by this.

- toomuchtodo 5y agoThere is a balance to be found between regressive taxes (not good) and supporting unsustainable practices (also not good). If you’re commuting 100 miles round trip everyday, you should still be paying for those roads, just as we expect you to pay for your own fuel. I would also say incomes being stagnant for the last 40 years (due to globalization and the decline in unions and manufacturing jobs) has not helped folks who live in rural areas. Do we subsidize folks who can’t afford this? If so, how much? For how long? Important questions to be explored.
