Hm, I think I'm more up for a tire tax than a road tax, myself, and I'm not quite sure. Both are taxes and do a similar thing, but the tire tax is less objectionable to me. Weird. And yes, the implementation of this idea is ridiculous; there's SO MANY gas stations in the US, and so many cars...I don't even think it's feasible, it would take years or decades before it started making money. Although many new cars already come with GPS; doesn't OnStar use that?
And I also agree with the seeming incompetence of road crews and the similarities between their pace and molasses. I see all the roads in the US, and I think "all these were put up in the past 60 years, but it takes them five to complete a twenty-mile stretch?" Either they used to be more efficient or less careful, or a combination of both.
