My gasoline consumption should not pay for pedestrian parks and bike paths.
...or worse, high speed rail, inner city rail, mass transit, or any other use that can’t pay for itself, and mostly aimed at large cities and concentrations of population rather than the agricultural areas with large and extensive amounts of roads that bring food to market but have low population numbers that do not generate cash enough to support such a road network.
Without the misuse of fuel taxes, there would be sufficient revenue to support necessary road maintenance and construction, but so far congressional priorities have not been supportive of the needs of the nation as a whole but more for feel good projects unrelated to necessity.
You do not want to attract libtards to move into the countryside. Driving a 4x4 truck over potholes is preferable to having to deal with them. A raided transportation fund to keep them in the cities is a small price.
