Yep! that's how you do it. But the poor schmoe who has a magnetic sign and ladder on his old pickup will suffer for it, and we have integrated that into our politics. See also Jimmy Carter.

A big gas tax will hurt rural areas the most. Maybe we could base the tax on the population density of an area, and give electric car tech time to trickle down into less populated regions until we ultimately start turning up the heat there, too.
