Yes I know that but I was just comparing it to the tiered tax system we already have, which no one seems to have a problem with.

To tax people who drive more than others, especially if it encourages people to walk instead of drive would also have benefits for the health of the nation.
P.S. Sorry the figures were in a nice easy to read box until they were posted here.
