None of these Big Brother advocates has explained why the gas tax can't simply be raised, if they predict shortfalls.

We need to go to hydrogen, with no tax on it. That will force them to cut agencies and expenses that are useless or worse enslave our people.

BAH!
If they predict shortfalls, they should cut spending.. either get rid of a staffer or 20, pay their own heath insurance, or close down for 6 months.
Raising taxes is NOT THE ANSWER, so STOP suggesting it.

In CA gas taxes are over $.50 a gallon already, with 10% of the nations vehicles I think they're already collecting plenty of taxes, they just haven't used it for that which was intended.

Think about it.
rather than make changes at thousands of gas stations every time they want to raise the gas tax, they can now
just change the rate. Plus, as the fuel efficiency increases on newer models, the government's revenues are not affected.
Any level of government can now add say a half cent for a particular city for say street repairs. Kind of like the sales tax programs.
