What do all you CA drivers think of this plan?

I'm siding with Darkbeer on this one.
Moonliner, the one hole in your argument (for me, at least) is that you ignore the fact that people who bought Hummers and SUVs knew exactly what they were getting into when they made their purchase, just like the folks that bought hybrids.
Luxury costs, plain and simple. It's not a liberal thing or a conservative thing, it's an American thing. And it's not a bad thing.
I consider myself slightly left of center on most issues, yet I was incredibly incensed when people here in SF were defacing SUVs in The Mission district.
I don't think there's anything wrong with buying "nice things", just don't go all socialist when you realize you have to pay for the privilege of owning them.
