I think you’d have to outlaw traveling by wheeled vehicle unless by train to set a climate where Amtrak could make a profit.

Many of our "Progressive" (AKA Socialist/Communist) liberal politicians would do it if they could get away with it.

They've already admitted levying taxes to "change behavior." They've raised gas taxes to force citizens to drive less.

I was in the upper peninsula a couple years back and read some greenie brochure about wanting to close the parks off to private vehicles and we could all “enjoy” them from public shuttles.

They've already admitted levying taxes to "change behavior."

That's a pretty silly and indefensible argument.
BOTH major political parties promise to provide "tax incentives" favored by their respective partisan supporters.
