Don't think about it as double taxing. Think of it as splitting tax in 2 components, in which one component scales linearly with resource usage.

do you get equally upset being double-taxed to use public transit?

not sure i understand the question.. can you rephrase?

im not upset.. but these double taxing schemes dont amuse me.. here we now pay taxes for polluting.. No air is cleaned.. They just fill politicians pockets.. what i hate more than taxes are taxes not being used rigth

toll roads and public transit are two examples of the same thing.

you pay taxes upfront, and you pay extra every time you use them.
