I rec'd because I agree largely with the points you are making.

Most people have dynamic IP addresses, by far. Most offices have probably have static ones, the business pays the extra money to have a static one that can be registered to their domain name.

Toll roads, no thanks. Take the money from the oil profiteers, or die trying. You may lose the vote (would be blocked by Republicans) but such losses can give a party a real issue to campaign on, reclaim our party's soul, retake the house, hold the Senate, then you can pass the correct funding mechanisms for infrastructure, along with many other needed reforms.

The arguments that a toll tax or even a gas tax are appropriate carbon taxes are misguided. Carbon taxes need to target carbon extractors/refiners/retailers. For one thing, they are making record profits, the poor people on the roads are mostly struggling to survive. For another, these industries use a portion of their considerable profits to influence public policy in favor of a fossil-fuel economy rather than transitioning to a renewable fuel economy.
