this brings up an interesting question about how your mind works: if the supporters (excluding the people who drafted the legislation and/or benefit monetarily from it) know it's a sham then what would their motivations be?
Most likely supporting due to receiving the "rebate" cheques from the government.
I'd be that if you did a poll that asked if you received a cheque and if you supported the tax, both answers would be very closely related.

What about vehicle emissions testing? I always thought 80% of the vehicle pollution was made by 20% of the cars or something like that - so many non-roadworthy beaters running around out there spewing giant clouds of blue smoke.
We'll never see mechanical or emissions testing that can take cars off the road. People would see it as a war on the lower income segment of the population.
