Poor taxes are not a great solution with respect to equality.

Pretty trivial to discount/exempt people as is done in NYC.

An even simpler starting point (which we should actually do for all road-related fees like tickets IMO) is to set fees by the KBB value of the vehicle in question. Let people contest them in court if they want.


The population driving into Manhattan is not poor. It's a consumption tax, not a poor tax.
