"I for one do not feel like paying a toll every time I pull out of my driveway."
Re-allocate all the billions in *earmark pork projects* for the 535 worthless congresscritters to pay for the road taxes. That's OUR money, too, and probably exceeds the fed gas tax revenue.
Problem solved.
You said that once before and I ignored it for being worthless. Repeating it will not make it any less worthless. Nothing will change the fact that the minor amount saved from eliminating earmarks, as justified as that would be, will make up for the loss of 60 cents per gallon that goes to transportation projects most of which is collected by the states as you seem unaware of. I agree that the federal gas tax should be eliminated except for the cost necessary to maintain the Interstate Highways. They can be declared Post Roads and it would thus be constitutional. The rest of the federal gas tax is there only for the Congress to create hanky panky. The minor amount from earmarks would pay for nothing.
