The most regressive tax imaginable is a flat fee for every person with no consideration of income. That is exactly the effect of requiring everyone to own a car.

It isn’t a flat fee per se, if only because wealthier people are too prideful. Rich man buys a 100k mercedes. Poor man buys that mercedes 15 or 20 years later for 3k. It still does what it did when it cost 100k.
It's a 3k tax, the other 97k wasn't part of the tax.

Used car prices are more like 10k now anyway. Used Mercedes, probably 40k.

I can tell you don’t check used car prices
