Can you explain your maths a little more?

Here's my two seconds of calculation...

25b divided by, 170m registered voters... Is slightly less than $150 per person.

Voters, because if you're not going to participate and therefore help the system - the system shouldn't help you. Plus, you have to be 18, which filters out all the 3 year olds

For the 10K figure... My math says that would be for 2.5 million cars... Or ~1.5% of voters.

That aside, it will likely destroy the resale market.
