Straw Men yet again, Thats not what I said, I said they should have plates on them so Road Tax has been paid.It is a myth that roads are fully paid for by fuel and user taxes and that the general fund covers none of road infrastructure costs.
“Many Americans believe that drivers pay the full cost of the roads they use through gas taxes and other user fees. That has never been true, and it is less true now than at any other point in modern times.”
“Today, general taxes paid by all taxpayers cover nearly as much of the cost of building and maintaining highways as the gas tax and other fees paid by drivers. The purchasing power of gasoline taxes has declined as a result of inflation, improved vehicle fuel economy, and the recent stagnation in driving. As a result, so-called “user fees” cover a shrinking share of transportation costs.”
“The time has come for policy-makers to recognize something that has been true for years, but is especially true today: we all pay for America’s roads.”
