Regarding a gas tax holiday

If John McCain is serious about a gas tax holiday, he must not be listening to his economic advisers. A gas tax holiday is regressive and will benefit the wealthy, who use a disproportional amount of energy. If he truly wants to benefit the working American he should subsidize public transit across the U.S., offer a tax deduction for transportation companies to retrofit their fleets to make them more fuel efficient, and mandate better emission standards from the auto industry. Last time I looked, a car built in the U.S. could not be sold in China because it would not comply with Chinese emission standards!
