Keziah concludes the proposed gasoline tax will allow the government to distribute transportation funds more equitably. As evidence, she points out that the government has always spent more from general revenue sources to fund highways compared to mass transit.

Keziah provides important context in order to support the idea that the proposed gasoline tax is fair. She does this by describing that historically, government funding for highways has been disproportionate compared to funding for mass transit. Since taxpayers in general have always paid more in favor of drivers, the gasoline tax will make funding more equitable by evening-out the tax burden.

The context is the fact that government has always spent more from general revenue resources to fund highways. With this context, the gasoline tax appears more fair and equitable.

Keziah does not appeal to this principle. Instead, she describes that funding for highways has always been unfairly supported by the general revenue fund, and the gasoline tax is meant to make this burden more equitable.

Keziah does accept fairness as an appropriate criterion. Contrary to Lambert, she believes the gasoline tax is actually a more equitable way to fund mass transit networks.

Keziah concedes that the gasoline tax will result in increased expenses for drivers. For Keziah, though, she believes that this is a more equitable way to fund mass transit networks.

Keziah does not make any claim that Lambert is poorly informed on the issue.
