No one is forcing you to live in the middle of nowhere, you do that by choice. You could choose to live in a high rise next to transit and not own a car, but you don't. So you can pay for your choices. [/quote]

Transit doesn't work for tradesmen who live in rural areas.  Check how far away your local tradesman lives, or landscaper.  Plus they can't carry their equipment on the bus and metro.[/quote]

Then find a new career [/quote]

Oh, that's sweet! [b]What do suppose will happen when all those carpenters, plumbers, landscapers, and electricians[/b] "find a new career"? Who will repair your hot water heater? Who will build that deck you've always wanted? Who will do any of the necessary jobs around your home that you don't have the skill (or the tools) to do? And just what "new career" do you recommend? Maybe they all could become computer programmers?
You are a moron.[/quote]

[b][u]They will adjust their business to higher gas prices[/u][/b], just like they do when gas prices go up for reasons other than taxation.[/quote]

That's not what the poster above said ("Then find a new career"). Tradesmen who need to drive to meet their customers will certainly have to raise their prices a bit to compensate for any additional gas tax. I have no problem with that.
But saying "...find a new career"? That's absolute bullshit. And the person who said it is either a troll or a total ass.[/quote]
