While I agree with your points, taxing driving is as popular as the bubonic plague. People who like cars and or freedom don't like it, the economist angle will say that it will push the cost of consumer goods way up due to trucking etc.
Honestly there should be more gas taxes (that's not per-gallon but % of sale price) but again, will fail until EVs become dominant.
- eru 3y agoWhy do you suggest petrol should be taxed as a % of sales price and not per litre? The negative externalities we are worried about occur mostly in proportion to how many litres of petrol we burn, not how many pennies we pay for them, do they?
