that is his fault for buying, if he really could afford it he would just pay it

Just wondering.

I some what agree, there are going to be a lot less people that can actually afford it. It is going to price out a lot of people and force them the conserve. Vehicles that consume a large amount of gas are a luxury.

the people that will not be able to afford it are going to out weigh those who can, because this is America.

So you have no ethical problem with acting unethically, as long as you can afford it?

If you know the consequences of your actions, and willing to pay for them.
Obviously this does not pertain to everything, I do not condone shooting someone in the face if you are willing to spend life in prison.
On the other hand, I parked illegally on some landscaping because I could not find a spot to park in, I was willing to pay the cost of a ticket to have lunch with my wife; I got a ticket and I had to pay for it.

I wouldn't be wasting time talking to you if I thought you would condone that. Nor do I object, particularly, to your spitting on the sidewalk on your way to having lunch with your wife.

Your response neglected to address the heart of the topic.

the point is, those who can afford to buy a luxury should be able to. If one does not make enough, they should use luxury items in moderation, within their means.
I consider gas guzzlers as a luxury, as is a brand new economy car and 20 inch wheels.
