Would you support an increase in the Federal fuel tax?
Presently it's 18 and 24 cents for gas and diesel respectively. It's been at that rate since the 90's. Since then automobiles are getting much better fuel economy thus buying less fuel per vehicle, yet the amount of traffic has increased dramatically wearing the roads out sooner. I'm in the road building industry so I would support an increase. With prices low it would seem to make sense to try and pass a fuel tax increase.
Looking forward to the responses and how it would impact you outside of your wallet?
I realize you folks in Cali may think this is nuts given all the local taxes you pay for fuel on top of the federal tax.
