Transit Voter, who weighed in on Erica's post about the "Head Tax."

5. Transit Voter says:
The now-lamented (in some quarters) head tax is only $25 per YEAR, something barely exceeding one cent per hour worked for a fulltime employee, AND it only applies to employees who commute via single-occupant automobiles.

In short, it’s a tax that raises a decent amount of revenue while still being almost totally painless. The only ones expressing dislike now are politicians who think they detect a trifling breeze blowing against the tax, and want to be the first to cave on it. I call BS.
