I picked up on that "error," too.

I'll cut the author some slack, since I understand there are a number of states where the state sales tax is applied to fuel sales. So in those states, some of those revenues DO rise and fall with the price of fuel.

“I understand there are a number of states where the state sales tax is applied to fuel sales.”

True, but the one state that I’m familiar with that applies sales tax, California, also applies per gallon taxes, and not a penny of the sales taxes are used for highways.

I suspect the other states are the same.

Therefore, the guy is an idiot.
