Since those people in Washington don’t have any business deciding how we power our transportation, he’s wrong and so are you.

"he’s wrong and so are you."

Please reread what I wrote. Also please look up the concept of "least bad solution". I wasn't saying that gas taxes should go up. I was saying that that "solution" (and I included the scare quotes) is "less bad" than the "solutions" that the government is actually imposing.

The "best" solution (as opposed to the "least bad" solution) would be for the government to get out of the way of free markets.

Lutz is simply pointing out to his pals in government that there are other ways to achieve their purported goals. Of course, if the real objective is what tell me says in post 27; then the government methods are pretty good (just the objective is evil). (BTW, I happen to lean toward tell me's view on this.)
