Michigan still reels from a spotty economy. Too many are unemployed or under-employed. Increasing road taxes will increase the cost of everything shipped - food, clothing, getting to jobs, heating the house, visiting grandma. There is no quicker or more certain way to kill the fledgling recovery. We pay $400 million too much each year for government construction, until we repeal the prevailing wage laws. Republicans raised the budget $7 Billion a year in just four years. Subsidies for movies and crony capitalism and to bail out Detroit would have paved roads. We do not collect too little tax money - we just do not use it wisely. Cut the fat first!
