I’ve already told you that states collect their own significant portion of taxes on gas. The corrupt ‘municipalities’ often piss this money away when the state doles out its share to them. You can drive around the interstates inside the city of Atlanta and see scores of blacked out interstate lights and damaged interstates because they piss the money away on city voters and ‘outreach’. You figure it out.
I don’t have to give you an alternative for what you want. I just don’t want to be taxed for stupid useless crap, and it is my right as a citizen to tell them to go pound sand.
You can try, but you’ll never get them (government) to enter into a BINDING agreement to do what they say they will when they are trying to get more taxes levied.
There is no carrying out a calm conversation with some people...
