Question

Suppose the government decides to raise the gasoline tax as a way to reduce air pollution and traffic congestion to their optimal levels.

Which of the following describes why corrective taxes, such as the gasoline tax, are unlike most other taxes?

Answer 1

The new corrective tax wouldnt be for improving infrastructure like tolls are but would be to prove a point and help the environment so it has no place to directly put the money since the air isnt tied to anything
