The joke about owners of sports utility vehicles being in constant readiness to invade Poland became all the more poignant last week, with reports that Russia had deployed ‘peacekeeping forces’ to Georgia. With the distant echo of Russian T90 tanks reverberating from the TV news report, I watched the familiar ritual of my neighbors, the 'Guzzlers’, as they loaded their own immense vehicle with a drinks cooler and two small children.

clamoring for a gas tax “holiday” as fuel prices rise and the summer driving
season fast approaches. Never mind that they focus entirely on poor consumers
and fail to discuss the implications to businesses trying to get goods/services
to market. Is there any benefit to either group from leaving the tax alone? Or
increasing it?
