I think increasing the payroll tax is a mistake. People who don't own a car should actually be rewarded because they pollute far less, they don't disable workers, they don't require traffic police, they don't emit CO2....

I would replace the payroll tax with a weight tax on huge SUVs.

That's a really good point, you don't have to solve everything in one bill. Since we don't and haven't though, it makes the approach of fighting for every inch on every bill the default since there is no trust anyone will fix the actually simple but hard pieces.
