Note: *STATE ROADS*
Now what was used for roads not controlled by the state and the rest of the funds for local roads? What part of that total went to expressways and interstates?
Nahh... you don't want to go there.
You think the state of IL covers all the costs of all roads in the state? *laugh*
Let me know when you figure it out.
Cite?
Hell you didn't cite a damn thing. You probably pulled it all out of your butt.
I doubt it.
Whatever. Your posts give a different feeling. You consider bicyclists intruders on *your* road.
How to pay for roads 4362lokey My argument would be that the car and Hummer driver are already paying. In NC, the Hummer driver will pay about $40 a year for vehicle registration, another $300+ in vehicle property taxes...
Such things need to be sactioned by the local government in IL.
1) Your accounting method is flawed. 2) Motor vehicles need the expensive roads. Bicyclists shouldn't need to pay for the roads your vehicles need.
Bicyclists are paying more than their fair share. Motor vehicles need the expensive to construct roads, not bicyclists. Your pay-for-aim is simply to get bicyclists off the road. To discourage bicycling. That's what it always is that is what it always will be.
I never argued bicyclists were being charged indentical to drivers. I argued that bicyclists pay at least their fair share. You want to pbutt puntive taxes on bicyclists, well then I'll pay them and I'll take the same space with my bicycle that my car requires.
Your arguements are exactly to those ends.
I highly doubt that. When I hear the 'you don't pay' crap in real life, it's from some motorist who just brush pbutted me, tried to run me off the road, pbutted me and then slammed on the brakes, or did something else to endanger me.
To the letter, except occasionally I have exceeded posted speed limits on my bicycle.
I paid more in taxes than most people using the roads given IRS data on income.
