Lessee, a tax to curatil needless driving. Rich folks can pay $20/fill or $40 fill and they may whine like stuck capitalist pigs, but it doesn't hurt the rich. The difference is probably less that 1% of their weekly income.

Now poor folks. poor folks get hurt. Lets say you gotta drive your 1993 plymouth to work at your $10/hour job. You spend say $20/week on gas.. Oh yeah, then there's all that tax witholding and SSI and such so your take-home is probably like oh, $300. You gotta hold out for food and rent and ultilities so now your down to $250 or less. Now some ********* wants to drain another $10-$20/week for a fuel consumption tax. That's like 8% of the take-home from the working poor.

Would a Democrat do that to the poor?
