Increasing the gas tax will further hurt the working class–the poorest hurt most.
The only thing that doesn’t cost more during this period of inflation is labor, particularly for the mythological “low-skilled” jobs. If someone makes $15/hr, can’t afford a fuel-efficient vehicle, and lives where public transport cannot take him/her, $6+ gasoline is already crippling. Adding taxes and fees means giving the wealthy a pass while punching the working class in the stomach, IMO.
