Re: Utopia In The Hole
said by pnh102  :Roads in the USA are paid for by gas taxes, tolls and car and truck registration fees. In most states, only people who drive and/or own vehicles pay for road maintenance. Any person who does not wish to pay for roads can simply choose to not drive or own a vehicle, and he/she will not be paying for roads. Then explain why you, a resident of MD, is paying for our Big Dig in Boston? Federal income taxes pay for roads. |
