Diane Sawyer and the Gas Tax
Diane Sawyer was arguing today on Good Morning America (via Newsbusters) that a European style gas tax would get Americans off foreign oil immediately, not in 2014 or 2016 or whenever. Apparently she asked her question like a hundred times.
I love it when people who live in New York City who have great public transportation and have a city that is all of 300+ sq ml* (metro = 6,720 sq ml) think that the reason people drive cars is because of some greedy, nonsensical, irrational need to drive a car. And that it's not a necessary part of life.
A gas tax a kin to what they have in Europe would cripple the heartland and those outside of the eastern seaboard.
*Dallas = 385 sq ml (metro = 9286 sq ml)
Houston = 600 sq ml (metro = 10,062 sq ml)
LA = 498 sq ml (metro = 4850)
Kansas City Metro = 7,952 sq ml
