"That would be charging people by the mile to drive. unequal... but fuel taxes do that now."
And by and large it works. The problem with fuel taxes is there's no built in revenue growth, like inflation, or what we see in property taxes. If fuel taxes had that indexing, we'd be paying 30 cents per gallon more and we'd have the freeways we need. What angers me about Perry is his haste to dump that system without any thought as to the consequences.
