That was the original purpose of the motor fuel taxes, to pay for the roads and bridges they used and it worked well for a while...until it was diverted to pay for every wet dream social engineering idea that was dreamed up.

We don't need an increase in the gas tax, we just need to use it to finance road and bridge maintenance and construction, not mass transit, not bike paths, not demonstration projects, not to help balance the budget, JUST ON ROADS AND BRIDGES.

considering the massive taxes paid by just the transportation industry themselves our infrastructure should all be high tech.
2290, Universal Carrier Fees, Commercial Activity Taxes, license fees, 12% excise taxes on new equipment/tires/parts etc. The Fed puts Enron to shame.
