In Which I Agree With Brian Moran

From The DCPost:

"The gas tax is regressive, and when someone is drowning, it's no time to throw him an anchor,"

Any tax on any every day item or necessity is arguably regressive. Sales taxes are all pretty much regressive, unless they are applied to only luxury items like diamond rings and yachts. Most per-unit taxes are regressive, as well. It's not like Brian Moran had any great revelation. Now, if Brian wants to start talking about other sales taxes that are regressive, too, I'll think he actually had a great revelation. So, what d'you say, Brian? (cricket, cricket) That's what I figured: nothin'!
