According to research from US thinktank Resources for the Future, (discussed in The Economist) even factoring in pollution and congestion benefits our fuel tax is roughly twice as high as it should be to take into account the costs of using fuel (though America’s petrol tax is much too low). Why? Political cowardice. It is (or has until now been) politically easier to hike up “sin taxes” on petrol than to raise income tax.adding razr ringtones forstanley c accrington faccrington cinemaadam vancouver harringtoniphone ringtones accbeaumont of amanda harringtonamc barington 30lg ringtone vx 6000 Map
