So You feel you have over charged the poor people for long enough or is this an election gimmick.

What elections gimmick? by the time it is implemented, elections over. If it was made free , maybe! Poor people? Who ? the ones who keep buying European cars like toys and complain of carbon tax, parking fee and emission fee?
