I agree completely with your position of income (booo) & consumption (yaaay) taxes...

Which is why it's probably strange that I can somewhat agree with the reduction of the gas tax from the perspective of: If people want (/need!) the government to do something about inflation and cost of living, about the simplest thing they can do is cancel a tax. It's a real-time lever they can pull.
