Why not tax the big gasoline wasters , finance government with a relatively discretionary gasoline tax, (eg the less gasoline you use the less taxes you pay), and reduce the inflation tax that ordinary garden variety folks like you and I are currently paying. If the government made the gasoline tax deductible, we would even have a incentive to keep up with it, so we would know how much we are really paying for taxes.
