Higher gas taxes to pay for roads seems like the fairest way to distribute a user fee, short of tolls. Setting up tolls cost money to build, maintain and staff, so the gas tax makes sense to me. Seems this would be a very "American" way of doing things. If you need it, pay for it. Why should those that don't need the roads as much, pay as much?
Man. I'm drifting further and further towards the right in my old age.
