Even those who don’t drive on roads benefit from goods and services delivered by them.

“Even those who don’t drive on roads benefit from goods and services delivered by them.”

Transportation costs are embedded in the retail price of the good the fact that trucks only pay 24.4 cents in diesel tax per gallon while causing thousands of times the damage is us the taxpayer subsidizing the trucking companies. Trucks only get 7 miles per gallon which means that that tax rate it’s three and a half cents per mile. Given that individual state and fed gas taxes don’t even cover a single foot of road in a year. It’s all subsidy from the top income tax payers to everyone else.
