State revenues? And the states would have gathered those revenues from whom?

From the people of the state.

Let me ask you which is the preferred route: a state taxing its residents for highway improvements, or the federal government taxing the whole country and then the state has to ask the federal government for funds? The same for education?

Sure, today the states do both: they tax and they seek federal funds. Why? What if the federal funds never left the state in the first place, and there was more available locally for the state to tap into?

Why should the residents of Texas or Florida pay for a bridge in Alaska if Alaska wants a bridge?

I would go even farther. Why should the residents of say Richmond VA pay for road improvements in Roanoke VA? Why should they pay at all if a private company is willing to do so in exchange for a toll?

Sadly, the residents of both places are taxed for roads at the federal and state level thay they may never use.

My point in my earlier post was that we’re not talking Federal or state revenues, but YOUR revenues taken out of YOUR pocket.
