If you pay your property taxes,sales taxes,or income taxes,it doesn't mean you can drive your auto on the roads without paying usage taxes. If states were to tax vehicles and fuel to completely pay for the roads,no one could afford to drive anything. Even those tiny Vespas pay some usage fee. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

I don't know. I've never come close to experiencing it. As evidence, I'll note that I did not say, nor imply, that you commute to work by car. IOW, you seem to have been proceeding from a false assumption. Say, how _does_ it feel? ;-) - Frank Krygowski |
