    … taxes. Regular, existing, mundane taxes.

    Any direct connection between a source of state revenue and a target of state spending is arbitrary and weird.

      The point of a gas tax is to have the people who use and degrade the roads pay for the repair.

      We want to discourage car driving, so the tax should be related to how much you drive a car. Otherwise, you are making people using more sustainable forms of transportation subsidize driving
