Are you being honest? Do you want to have the subsidies for Amtrak stopped but you want the highway financing system replaced by this private system you outlined? Do you realy think this proposed financing system is more efficient than the taxes collected at the pump and more equitable as well? <br /> <br />Do you also think that the subsidies paid to airlines are as appropriate as the subsidies paid to Amtrak and that these are superior to the fuel taxes as well? <br /> <br />There appears to be an intellectual disconnect here. The highway users pay taxes to build and maintain highways. If you don't buy fuel for your car, you are not supporting construction of the highways. All I am recommending is for Amtrak and airline users to do the same. Right now, I have to support the airlines and Amtrak regardless of how much I use it. There is no comparison to the highway funding model here. - Ed
