Reply to comment by 69FunnyNumberGuy420 in Pennsylvania Senate passes bill to cut state gas tax by wildfireonvenus

Here is the problem. Gas guzzlers are expensive. Very expensive. People who can afford gas guzzlers aren’t too worried about the cost of gas.

High gas taxes disproportionately impact the poor, who have to be careful of every penny they spend because every penny is important. They are the ones who suffer most under high gas taxes.

Automobiles and the gas that fuels them are tremendously destructive and should be taxed as much as the market will bear to discourage driving.

So you hate poor people and only want the rich to drive.

Got it.
