My property taxes pay for the roads in our town so everyone pays almost equally. We get less than $180,000 in gas taxes and that gets eaten up pretty quickly when I think of the few times they plow the roads when it occasionally snows, spread sand on icy days, re stripe every summer, cut the brush on the sides of the roads (which they don't do for any of our non-motorized trails). Now if cars paid anywhere near what they cost us for pollution, emergency services, wars for the petroleum, oil and gas runoff into our local waterways, etc. then I would be willing to raise my taxes on my bicycle. Our freeways here can only be used by automobiles and yet they are not completely funded by gas taxes, why not?
