Raising gasoline taxes: Terence Corcoran fighting a really bad idea with the No Pigou Club
Arthur C Pigou was a British economist who espoused the idea that the role of government was to use taxation as a tool of social control. Tax things you don't want people to do, and subsidize actions you want them to do.
Like taxing the heck out of cigarettes, I suppose. Not that high taxes have eliminated smoking.
Heavy levels of taxation is a Canadian tradition. But Terence Corcoran of the Financial Post is fighting the application of Pigou's theories to gasoline consumption, and is using a blog, the NoPigou Club, to do it.
I encourage you to visit it, read the articles, and kick in your two cents. Unless you want to pay $2.50 a liter for gas, of course.
