Can you help this student with a survey about fast food and taxes? Feel free to add additional comments?

Alexis asked:


1. What is your age and state of residence (only)?
2. How often do you eat fast food? Why?
3. How often do you use the drive-thru to order your fast food and why?
4. How much automotive idle time do you estimate you use at the drive-thru?
5. How do you currently feel about environmental issues, and do you think the idle emissions from automobiles contribute emissions to the greenhouse effect, if you believe the greenhouse effect is a dilemma?
6. Is the drive-thru a major/minor convienence to your life and why?
7. Would you consider paying a nominal tax for use of the drive- thru each visit, if you knew the nominal tax would be used for state environmental iniatives?
8. Would you be willing to pay a $0.15 service tax for usage of the drive-thru, if the tax funded research for alternative fuel? Why, or why not?
9. What is the maximum amount you would consider for a drive-thru service tax?
10. How do you feel this might affect your lifestyle?
(Thank you from a very greatful student. :)

    Maurice

    east coast usa
    two times a week ( addicted to ice coffees)
    9 out of ten times
    three minutes
    concerned , yes, yes
    moderate
    no
    no, with everything fifteen cents after red tape and bs that would be a negative 5 bucks
    none
    i would be annoyed as heck, if i thought there was a chance that my fifteen cents would say buy a tree directly i would be more for it but i dont believe this would ever happen would be abused for other purposes also fifteen cents is nothing for the rich but would hurt the poor. maybe try taxing on take home pay of customers they can give two years of tax returns to the first window and pay the tax at the second.
    you are welcome
    ( if you did a survey about suvs i would have been more for taxing the heck out of them and there idle ******* fossil fuel engines)
