Watch the Wealth Run Away to Russia

Tom Friedman makes the case for the gas tax in the New York Times:

You’d think that one person, just one, running for Congress or the Senate would take a flier and say: “Oh, what the heck. I’m going to lose anyway. Why not tell the truth? I’ll support a gasoline tax.” Not one. Everyone just runs away from the “T-word” and watches our wealth run away to Russia, Venezuela and Iran.
