And the money goes straight to the gov, isn't even ear-marked. Our roads deteriorate on an alarming rate.

I honestly think we could just remove the car taxes, and tax fuels instead.

We live next to the world's largest country, that had new cars equipped with carburetors up until 2000's.

And which doesn't give a damn about emissions.
You mean to tell us you paid all that money as some kind of penance towards global warming, got nothing in return and you don't feel better about your self?
