No. Faux concern for the poor (strange how all of a sudden, when the precious automobile is at stake; conservatives are OK with regressive taxation) is a ruse.
Especially in a densely populated state like Massachusetts, the aim should be to render the private automobile as a luxurious non-necessity; not continue to prop up the practice with underhand subsidisation.
Just FYI automobiles are a necessity for many of us Massachusetts folk, as we don't all live in Boston.
Hard no. The gas tax is one of the most effective measures of reducing gasoline consumption. I'd vote for an increase even, but hooking it to inflation is just common sense.
Yes, because God forbid any of us need to drive to work to earn piss poor wages, and wish to have some money left over after fueling the car. 
So do you just not support reducing gasoline consumption or do you have another proposition?
Uhhhh, of course I support moving to renewable energy. But the truth of the matter is while I really can't afford gax tax hikes, I am still going to fill up my car whether they are imposed or not, so I can get to work, and school, thus keeping myself alive and hopefully bettering myself in the future. Your argument that the gas tax will result in lower gas consumption doesn't really make sense given that the vast majority of people are still going to fill their tanks so they can get to where they need to be to earn a living. All gas tax hikes do is punish people for using gas, which for many of us non-enlightened folks unlike yourself, is still a necessity.
