Don, <br /> <br />I try to overlook grammer errors in order to figure out what somebody is proposing in their posts, but in this case, I need clarification. Could you restate this thought? <br /> <br />"While the people of Highland Park do not ride a bus, or light rail, they are usually driving around in their Jaguars, Mercedes, and Rolls, their household help do." <br /> <br />Please understand that my thesis is simply that we can do more on the local level than the federal government can do on the national level. Under my proposal, Hawaii would get to keep all the taxes collected at the pump and they could use it all to build roads in Hawaii. Texas would get to keep all the taxes collected at the pump and they could use it all to build roads in Texas. Both Hawaii and Texas would have more money to build roads (or charge lower taxes) because they would not be paying federal government overhead. <br /> <br />Ed
