One More Tryi posted awhile ago about the "pbutt left, drive right" issue and i got responses that i have thought about and given consideration to. First, I am not a troll...
IL charges extra every year for special plates. Ones with fancy designs or custom numbers. My lesser custom plates used to be the same amount to renew, now they are slightly more. Tell me, how does my car use more of the road with this license plate 'number' than with a random one?
No. breastle = $65, Plates = $78 (or more if it's a special plate), and the use tax is based on the model year of the car or the sales price or some other method, I forget.
How you try and justify it is irrelevant. Your statement is one of needing people who don't drive to pay.
Your initial statement was very clear. You need to collect taxes from nondrivers.
The moment you admit that non-drivers pay for the roads you lost the arguement. You are now exactly what I said, someone hung up on semantics. If I paid exactly the same amount and one of the line items on my property tax was labeled 'road usage' your semantic arguement would be satisified, but there would be no effective difference.
Your statement was clear, you need non drivers and even non road users paying for roads to keep driving affordable.
