    A better way of taxing would be without a proxy. Road wear is proportional to vehicle weight and miles driven. That’s why I’m advocating for that.

    Taxes are an incentive. Under my proposal being better saves money. Not buying gas lowers your tax. Driving less lowers your tax. Driving a lighter vehicle lowers your tax.

    Being bad and driving a heavy, gas powered, car excessive distances becomes unaffordable. As it should.
