Economics without mind or matter
by labrea on Dec 19, 2006 11:48 PM  Permalink 

I don't undersdtand what this person is trying to say - is she saying that the cost of producing cars are too expensive, as the cost of roads - real estate, constrcution and maintenace, is very high relative to the percentage of the popoulation served, that autos should be banned? Maybe she's absolutely right - India does not need expensive roads which encouraged expensive cars, which encourages more pollution, which encourages more diseases, which requires expensive hospitals with expensive doctors, which requires expensive Medical schools....ad infinitum.

illogical

i thought there is something known as road tax in place.

even if the argument provided is remotely logical, it is limited in its coverage.
also why only cars manufacturers Manufacturers of buses,trucks,bicycles and even footwear should pay the cost / tax of roads.

or is it that because 90% of people use them (i dont think the figure is based on any survey of any kind whatsover) they should be exempt. Height of populism. Or is it that the politics of "First Right" has engulfed all
