Don't punish people for driving hybrids, but don't punish people for driving inefficient cars. The government itself is the problem here, not the users of the roads.

So true, the Gov just wants more money to use to pay their buddies for crappy raod work. We need to stand up against it in everyway.
BUt, down here in Houston we are fighting agasinst "safe and clear."

But I like the tire tax idea, just like a gas tax it charges you for tires. No need to track them from state to state. Just have a small tax on it. people but tires all day, with a small, and I mean small it would help pay for our roads and should only pay for the roads.
