Gas taxes pay for the interstates, but they don't cover the local road network in most parts of the country. Road maintenance is a massive part of most municipalities' budgets and it comes from general tax revenue.
- houseabsolute 17y agoAnd that is truly unfortunate. There should be a tax on gas (mostly) and automobiles that completely pays for roads, and compensating tax cuts should be made against whatever the municipality collects; perhaps property or sales. Above all else I think we can all agree that people should be taxed especially to pay for what they use when it is possible.
