One of the most brilliant men I ever knew worked in real estate, not houses but tracts of land. He sold and bought and developed constantly, so he was on the road all the time. He argued that because he drove so many miles he paid a tremendous amount on gas tax and therefore should get a number of his traffic violations overlooked. If he accidentally ran a stop sign or sped, his ratio of violations were no higher than the guy who just drove back and forth to work. I never could argue with that logic.

States started the gas tax for road construction but have since moves that money to social spending. So, now they want to create yet another tax to supposedly pay for roadways.
How about we just get rid of our governments instead??
