Calibrating road tax based on vehicle weight as a proxy for road maintenance costs is a step away from taxing the individual, which is the current situation with more-or-less flat road tax rates.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoThe problem is that any talk of additional taxes is unnecessary if governments can’t do their jobs with the money they have. Just recently, my small town had their roads paved. It cost $35,000 to bring a miller in, and the county engineer made a mistake where only 1 of our roads were being milled. It took another $35,000 to bring it back to do the rest. Adding taxes can’t fix government inefficiency, in fact they make it worse.
