Gas "taxes" are basically user fees - no one has to pay them (at least directly) if they don't drive. People can choose to live in a condo in downtown Chicago and never fork over a gas "tax" dime at a pump. <br /> <br />Conversely, the money taken (stolen?) from out paychecks to fund Amtrak is going to be taken wether we use Amtak or not. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I don't directly use alot of the services the Govt pays for. That doesn't mean I want them to go away!! Would you like to start allocating where the Govt can spend your tax dollars? I'm sure the Dept of Defense and the CIA would love that policy!!
