If you let them tax the roads you travel; in addition to taxing your income, discretionary spending items, basic staples, your home, your car, your HEALTHCARE; eventually they will be getting around to taxing the air that your breathe.

Roads are not taxed, but should be, or rather should have user fees associated so government recovers what it costs to build and maintain them. We would not want the government handing out stuff for free, no?

Gas is taxed, but it is a poor way to pay for roads. The cost of a lane-mile of road varies dramatically, and fuel economy varies dramatically between vehicles. Alternative fuels like electric and CNG make this worse.

Just take an odometer reading once a year, factor in vehicle weight, and pay that amount.
