You miss the point. They don’t pay gas taxes to pay for road upkeep, but their vehicles cause far more road damage than cars with rubber tires. That is a very sore point in Amish country with those who actually pay to maintain the roads.

The Amish DO pay taxes and part of the tax money goes to roads! Cosidering how they are not government parasites as many are that are NOT Amish, I will not nit pick them to death and force a lifestyle on them that they REJECT.

Honestly, I don’t hold road repair or paved raods against them. I am not that small minded and petty. They are decent, honest people. I handshake still seals a deal.
