Again, without driving there is no collecting of those taxes. It's to
point out the absurdity of 'drivers not paying their way'. If drivers
are not paying their way then it's a net gain to the general fund to
just get rid of the road costs and the general taxes collected on
driving activities.
In other words, you know that driving is a net tax GAIN for the general

I'll probably be sorry I mention this, but...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the objectives of urban
renewal and neighbor stabilization to develop pride in an area through
home ownership? Wasn't that one of the objectives of the CRA back in 1993?

That's not very meaningful. If you double the taxes on trucks the
number of trucks on the road will decrease because less will be shipped
by truck. Sure that cost will be added to the products but not in full.
Some of the added tax would be covered by eliminating inefficiency that
aren't going to be eliminated until the cost goes up.

Excellent points.
And the interest in tollway bonds is tax exempt, while private
railroad bonds are taxable.
These various taxes were the tipping point between government operated
road facilities and private railroads. The book "Empire on the
Hudson" describes this in detail; it was the tax exemption, eagerly

No you didn't mention HTF at all you mentioned fuel taxes which are only
part of that fund.

The trust fund for highways is about as sacred as it gets for using
money to the benefit of a special interest. For comparison look at
another trust fund - 26 years ago the doubled the SS tax to build up the

Why should general sales taxes on autos or auto supplies (such as fuel)
be applied only to autos rather than put into the general fund?
Fuel excise taxes _in addition to_ the general sales tax are different.
However, in most states the fuel excise tax is _substituted_ for the
general sales tax, which is a subsidy from the general fund to autos.
