First, please don't try to slip in logical fallacy. Been there, done that, got a tee shirt. Eliminating a subsidy disguised as a tax credit is not "raising taxes"
Second, the two issues are unrelated.
No taxes are "good" and I in a perfect world would revert to user fees and consumption taxes across the board. Taxes on gas are discretionary, no one is compelled to pay them. They come very close to a user fee model. The problem is, they are supposed to be earmarked for transportation costs, and no one is sure if that actually happens

Spoken like a true liberal, maybe you can invent another way to tax them on top of raising their taxes.
