		<description>&lt;i&gt;High gasoline prices and high gasoline taxes harm the quality-of-life of Americans.&lt;/i&gt;

Is this true if gas taxes are rebated?  Making polluters responsible for pollution raised prices for consumers; did this harm our quality of life?  If open-access resources like the bluefin tuna fishery are closed and catches closely limited, and managed so that fishers have incentives to invest in sustainable yield, prices will rise - will this also harm our quality of life?

&lt;i&gt;the Federal government should facilitate transportation options, not limit them. Gas taxes should pay for road improvements, not increased in an attempt to manipulate American society.&lt;/i&gt;

Heck, why shouldn&#039;t gas taxes, and government support for road systems, be ended altogether?  Shouldn&#039;t the federal government get out of the interstate highway business?

But as for manipulation, should leaded gasoline be made legal again?</description>
