I spend $250 a month on my phone.

He overspends for a phone so everyone's taxes should go up. Exactly the kind of fiscal genius I want making tax policy.

Yup. Morons abound everywhere. Also, if he's spending that much on his phone bill, it's likely the majority of that bill isn't actually for phone service, but is because he feels the need to get a new phone every 2 years, which he's financing through his phone vendor. Again, it's poor funds management, and he shouldn't think that gives him any insight into transportation budgets.

My phone bill is less than $70/mo, and that's for 2 lines.

He may use 250 a month cell phone usage but I bet he gets reimbursed for most of it for his business use. And why should he worry about a gas tax when he uses a IDOT helicopter to go from Chicago to Springfield for business.
