I think you misunderstand the purposes of taxes and duties. They
exist to raise revenue, not to be fair.

The purpose is to raise revenue. That doesn't exclude the possibility
of the tax being fair.



I don't see why a pensioner who does 3,000
miles a year should pay the same road tax as a sales rep who does
100,000.


Well they do not have to if they drive a lower emmison car than the rep.
