With Pete Booty-Gig, You Always Wonder Whether He's Breathtakingly Evil And Reactionary Or Hilariously Frikkin' Dumb

Pete Booty-Gig is the poster child for Why Not Both?  A mileage tax is incredibly fucking regressive, so it taxes exactly the wrong people most heavily, AND it's ridiculously complicated and burdensome compared TO SIMPLY RAISING THE FEDERAL GAS TAX.  Politically it's a nightmare, a sure loser for the Dems, but on the other hand it will lead to rampant cheating and under collect the revenue when compared to SIMPLY RAISING THE FEDERAL GAS TAX and collecting that tax from THE FUCKING GAS STATION.  So, is Booty-Gig being a titanic, evil, reactionary McKinsey shitbag, or is he being a risible fucking neoliberal imbecile?  We may never know the answer to these important questions, but tune in next time for another exciting episode of Bullshit, or Not?
