It's just like the scam of tax breaks, because of how the progressive income tax structure is constructed, you will be forced into the upper-brackets as money inflates, while your purchasing power deflates. When you get a tax break for the progressive income tax system, it really isn't a tax break, it is more like resetting taxes back to where they should be.

If you want the income tax system to have actual tax breaks, index it to inflation.

“Even though I would challenge anybody, if they go — leave, wherever they are right now, looking at this — at your show, to go out and ask 10 people how much they pay in federal gasoline taxes, they can’t tell you,” the Congressman argued. “They won’t be able to tell you until a number is put out there, when somebody says, we’re going to raise the taxes in order to pay our infrastructure costs or the rebuilding of our infrastructure.”

18.4 cents for gasoline. He must not know about the internet connected computer almost everyone carries around with them.

Raise taxes to pay for it? They’re STILL running deficits so how does it ‘pay for it?’

A lot of people vote Democrat, so I could believe that those stupid people wouldn't notice.

I want a tax on the gas escaping from this politician's orifices. I want it to be 100% of his annual gross income, per occurrence.

Help pay for infrastructure? What?

Money is fungible. You saying "this is to specifically to help pay for this" is bullshit platitudes

Not to mentione WE'RE IN TRILLIONS OF DEBT DIPSHIT. It's not paying for anything. If you have $1000 in the bank but $5000 of debt, when you get another $1000 you're paying toward that debt, you're not gonna be using that $1000 for anything else.

Well then, most of the Americans I know must be unique and special Americans then -- they're already hating the increases, which they have noticed.

Whenever a politician says “most Americans” my brain instantly changes the words to “this is unpopular with most Americans”

Californians might not notice, they already pay an unknown amount of gas tax (likely over a dollar) and the money doesn't even go into a locked transportation fund. The tax money goes into a general fund.
