How the free market doesn't work (for everyone)

The SUV Is Dethroned

The problem with simply allowing the free market to decide the prices of things that are critical to the infrastructure of living (since gasoline/diesel is used in the transportation of ALL goods and services) is that those that "have", have the result of inflating ALL prices because they deplete supply through excess and inflate prices for everyone. There should have been some sort of additional tax on gas guzzlers beside just the incremental additional fuel costs. Those taxes could have been used to subsidize the cost of fuel used by more fuel efficient vehicles. THEN, the "free market" would have decided years ago that a 4 person family didn't need a gas guzzling SUV to haul the kids around town. Years of gas gluzzers has left the United States with an inventory of vehicles that will remain on the roads and will continue to make not just gas but all goods and services that much more expensive for the rest of us even though most SUV owners can afford $4 or $5/gallon gas. It's just that there's a lot of the other folks out there that can't afford the higher prices of that other "staple" called food.
