RE: Use the roads then pay the gas tax. Perfectly fair.
I just said Sales tax. How is that not thinking? A gas tax is essentially a sales tax on using gas.
Sorry, misunderstood your previous reply. Yes, a commerce tax is the way to go, just like in yesteryear the Port Tax was paid by ships sending or receiving commerce through the ports to pay for such things as the port itself, national defense (Navy), and other representative services of that port.
