The point there is that the gas taxes in Europe cover the cost of road maintenance, whereas they do not here.Canada also has a higher gas tax which pays for the roads, but not fully. It's part of the three reasons Canadians prefer to travel between Canadian cities via the US (1. Cheaper gas. 2. Better roads. 3. Roads aren't desolate and no areas with 50+ miles between gas stations). Thus, our road subsidies are helping Canadian commerce :). |
