Yes, please keep peddling the idea Conservatives advocate for higher taxation/tolls.

I'm not peddling that. Conservatives like the idea of people paying for what they use, and not paying for what someone else uses, therefore, gas and tolls are use taxes, and what conservatives want.

My goodness.

I pay gas taxes. You pay gas taxes. Those gas taxes pay for the roads. Do you realize only people who buy gasoline and drive on the highway, pay gas taxes?

They are a use tax, paid at the pump.

What I have been trying to explain to you for the last hour or more, is that they are being diverted. Meanwhile, you have proposed a number of excuses why it’s okay for them to divert those use taxes so we have to pay another use tax.

And then you claim this is bedrock Conservatism. Ah NO!
