Default Re: User Taxes

[ QUOTE ]
I'd be willing to listen to this argument. But it seems to go against a lot of current discussions here. If I have a big car I won't use the roads more than the guy with the small car, but I'll still pay more taxes for it?

Remember, I might agree with you here, but do you really agree with you?

The extra tax that the big car user pays can be justified because of the added pollution his car creates. Libertarians are generally anti-pollution, because pollution is an invasion of the rights of those who breathe it. Forcing polluters to pay tax because of the pollution they create is justifiable in a libertarian viewpoint.
