Begs the question as to what all the tax money from gas is being spent on besides infrastructure doesn't it. Besides you need to make those taxes specific. Can't wait for the Oxygen usage tax coming in the near future for your internal combustion engines at which point the Carbon tax can get tossed in with general revenues and no one will be the wiser.
