Half the population doesn&#x27;t pay gas taxes? You&#x27;re aware that they do. That was a silly thing to say. Gas taxes may be trivial to the portion of the population that pays most of the income taxes, but I doubt the bottom half thinks of them that way.<p>You need to show what portion of the road cost is paid for by income taxes before you can claim the rest.<p>I don&#x27;t understand why you brought any of this up.  A subsidy is a subsidy no matter who pays.
