Summarize Argument

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.

Describe Method of Reasoning

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.
