I cannot accept a federal gas tax increase, because about 25 percent of it goes to mass transit — which, until the 1960s, was mostly a private affair — as well as bike paths, beautification and local road projects that shouldn’t see a lick of federal subsidies.
I think that states and private companies are in a much better position to deal with transportation than the federal government, which cannot balance the budget, even to save us from economic and societal collapse.
There is a bill in Congress that would radically reduce the federal gas tax and hand most transportation responsibilities back to the states. It’s a good start.
A guess is about 25 percent of highway traffic is on behalf city slicker Democrats that don't own automobiles. While mass transit is a huge money loser, energy waster, and environmental disaster, it does help keep libtards in their concentration camps and not spoiling the countryside. Dealing with pot holes is preferable to pot heads.
Many conservatives buy off road capable vehicles but don't drive them off the government roads much. Possibly instead of better roads we should put the money into wing technology so automobiles can glide over the occasional 30 foot pot hole.
