I take it you don't have anything substantive to say in reply.

Are you denying the existence of municipal budgets for streets and county roads paid for by your property taxes? Do you believe the land taken up by interstates was always exempt from property taxes? Do you refuse to accept that many states (not all) subsidize their roads out of income and sales taxes, as is clearly detailed in their state budgets?

Do you believe the land taken up by interstates was always exempt from property taxes?

That's a fallacious argument. When roads are built, the land along side them gets developed. That land would likely not have developed as quickly without a road to get to it. Developed land pays out more in property taxes than undeveloped fields do.

Using your approach, we probably could figure out that we should pay a toll on hiking trails as well.
