- TimTheTinker 1y agoI take no position on which mode of transportation is preferable for others to take (though I have my own preferences, to be sure). Where I come from, taxes are comparatively low. So it's weird to see people talking about them influencing their behavior so significantly. That's a lot of power the government has... I'd rather keep my money than let bureaucrats spend it to manipulate the public's behavior.
