I think we can argue that a lot of the money we've been spending in the Middle East has been keeping petroleum prices artificially low... In a big way, that's yet another subsidy for the automobile.
I like the "non-reflective" metaphor...

My other thought is: Make the tax 1.00 even. How would that change our economy for the better and for the worse?

Lazily wondering if we had spent the money we've been spending in the middle east in the last 20 years on our own infrastructure and economy...
The South African term I have learned to respect is: "Non-reflective". As in you can shine a lot of light (money) at it, and get nothing back. It applies in many many ways.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
