Didn't you get the memo? They only want to "spread the wealth." Progressives love to spend other people's money.

America has among the cheapest gas prices in the western world.

Kin? I only have kin in The US, Ireland and England. I agree with you on that point-all the more reasons to get the hell out of The Middle East and never buy oil from that region again. Saudi Arabia is no ally of this nation.

All tax revenues, local, statte or federal go into a general fund to be spent as the need comes along. It feeds whatever pork is slated next.
Any who think otherwise should check how government really works.

if anything, gas prices should go down and neither the feds nor the states be allowed to tax it.

American is too big.

Are you European or American? Or, You must live in a Big City with Mass transit.?

Save the environment? Care are getting better and better and most of the old daily drivers have been replaced by 20 Plus a gallon.

We are not in the 19th Century.

So what?

Why should we impose limits on the use of the personal automobile, which has contributed to our freedom of movement, and our prosperity?

Why do Leftists want to take us back to pre-automobile days. Should we go back to the horse and buggy? Is that what liberals want?

I thought the Left was for "progress?" Isn't that what they are always saying?

I see no difference between your question here, and my question following:

Should we each take a hammer to our own toes every morning just because?

It is an asinine question. Its origins are in the classrooms of idiot overthinking progFessors who really need to put out and not allowed around a college campus.

The masochistic nature of the progressive mind knows no bounds and is breathtaking in its desire to punish success and all its trappings.

If this is what you learned as one about to matriculate (Gradsoon)? Then I would prefer you had not gotten edumacted.
