Most people drive their cars by choice... Just like people choose to drink or smoke... they should pay a premium for a non-essential consumable.

Your arguement would be just great if everyone lived in a city. Let's see... right now I'm on the Oregon coast (or about 10 miles from it). Mass transit is not even an option here. Do you think they will put in a system for 1000 people to get to and from work where I am? No. It's not even remotely feasible.
I have friends in cities that take mass transit whenever they can. Its an option for people in large cities, but not in the rest of the country. I'm willing to take mass transit, but I can't...
