[quote=Anonymous]Everyone (U.S. citizens) is created with equal rights. This does not mean everyone has the right to be equal financially. In fact, the definition of freedom means that everyone has the right to pursue whatever they want with as much or as little effort as they want. This in and of itself will lead to inequality, which is inherently a good thing as we are all free to measure our success and happiness by however we define it. The gas tax was put forth for two reasons: 1) as a usage based means to pay for roads; 2) as a disincentive to using more and more gas. It works for this. Yes it ends up using a disproportionate of poorer people’s income, but not that much given the relatively low cost of a gallon of gas. Also, all Latinos are not poor and all poor are not Latinos, so correlating the two is simplistic. [/quote]
