Earlier this year, the Department of Transportation raised its value -- but even after the increase, it stood at $5.8 million, more than a million dollars less than the EPA's.


I am surprised that it is that high. Most people don't produce that much in their life time, let alone pay that much in taxes. They really need to adjust the numbers way down for the pragmatic reality of the human economic unit. Anything else is just some sort of idealism or market value added because of some intellectually unsustainable belief in human dignity or some other emotional nonsense.
The dogma lives loudly within me.
