Truckers deal with higher taxes on a regional basis directly; when
heading into LA (for instance), they often fill up in Nevada for the
round-trip to make sure they don't have to pay the higher prices in
California.  Which of course makes prices higher in California for
those who can't pop over to Nevada for a fill-up.

This all gets back to the reason why we have to get rid of individual
income taxes: those who _can_ avoid taxes _will_ avoid them.  So if all
that's left to pay taxes is corporations, avoidance won't be such a big
deal.

At least the taxes will get paid.
