Usage tax
Privatize roads
eliminate fuel tax
These are good ideas. The problem with the fuel tax is you penalize drivers who never use a certain highway or bridge. What if I only use state and local roads, why should I be subject to a federal tax?
The usage tax I was thinking of was the tolls taken from users to use these highways.

I love tolls especially in southern California. Tolls are not common in CA.
My favorite highway is 73, which is never crowded because it's a toll road.
Some people will say this is unfair to low income drivers... it is unfair, so unfair you should kill yourself

I have a better saying for you, ”Fair is in August.” In many states, the state fair is only in August and it implies that there is no fair at other times, but of course there is never any fair at any time, is there? Fair is only for children.

All good replies to the ”I want fair or That isn’t fair” arguments. It always wants to make me laugh at the person making them, but that would be rude to little children, wouldn’t it?
