Yglesias and his commenters on gas taxes

Topic: Policy/Politics

I just read Matthew Yglesias's column "Elastic Gas", and I think that his commenters have some of the most intelligent things to say on the topic that I've seen yet (and no, not all of the commenters are in favor of a gas tax).

And regarding yesterday's post: it may be true that ultimately a gas tax is political suicide in this country (at least now), but it should give us pause that a paper as conservative as the Wall Street Journal has at least one writer advocating it.
