Buried in the taxation priorities of my Norman Harris Propounds & Proposes web site is my statement on Taxation priorities. Relate this to rail traveller. Why should the taxpayer subsidise rail? I accept that, many large city commuters have no other practical option, even if they can drive in they cannot park.
This circle can be squared by allowing the cost of travel to work to be reclaimed against income tax. it also helps another taxation priority of making work pay over benefits. Although job seekers should get their travel costs refunded for the same reason.
