Shawn,

That's the liberals answer to everything: Tax those that need or use something different from themselves.

I'd love to see how you suggest I get firewood so I can heat my home.

I'd like to see how you'd get a new tire from the shop to my tractor.

I'd like to know how you would tow my front loader to the jobsite.

My 1-ton diesel pickup is necessary to my life and the lives of people in the community. A Prius may work great for you and your life, but don't assume it's the standard to how everyone should be. Like it or not, these evil big diesel trucks are necessary to build and maintain the infrastructure that your reliant on.
