Great, then my toll money should not be funding west Texas roads - BUT IT IS!!
Your argument is ridiculous. Gas tax is the most efficient and fair way to pay for public roads. You drive on roads, you pay for roads. You drive more, you pay more. Additionally, utilizing the gas tax would promote more fuel efficient vehicle purchases. Texas does a fantastic job of moving dead air and excessive steel around for no purpose. The State taking advantage of high growth, wealthier areas to pay for Billy Bob's paved road to the liquor store is just plain stupid and double taxation.
