Lobbyists shocked and embarassed it’s so low.
Campaign to
bribedonate to politicians to increase it to $30,000 a second.Now do “renewables”.
Neither should be subsidised.
Also:
Supporters say fuel excise is collected to fund roads and businesses that use the fuel to run cars and equipment on private roads and properties should not have to pay it.
They’re right.
No they’re not right. That fuel all ends up in the atmosphere, and the spent rubber ends up in the sea. It costs money to clean all that up.
That’s not what fuel excise is for.
Well, someone has to pay to clean up that stuff, and perhaps it would be fair if that money came from the people causing the damage - right? Perhaps somehow pay for the health impacts from the reduced air quality too. Maybe that’s too much to ask?
