For the most part, I’m okay with “use taxes”, as long as the money actually goes toward the product I’m using. In this case roads and traffic infrastructure. It’s income and property taxes that get me all riled up.

Legislatures provide taxes for a specified purpose but look the other way when the executive mis appropriates the money. In essence, a tax that would be opposed is ok when the funds become an appropriation from a protected use.
