Comment on Americans can no longer afford their carsparent

Comments

So your argument is that we have a moral imperative to drive cars in order to pay taxes to support the roads that are mainly damaged by... cars?

As opposed to simply changing the tax code to better reflect road usage and wear and tear?

No I'd say we have a moral imperative to auction off the roads for privatization to let market force us to efficient transport options and more accurately capture their costs. I believe this will also reduce pedestrian and bike fatalities by pushing people to smaller vehicles and stuff like commuter rail.
