man I dunno. 10.3% sales tax already feels insane. So regressive too. Also, a ton of people that live in cities can walk to stores pretty easily. I will agree that most of us drive (or ride public transportation) places to buy things though.
Understand your reservations. Just remember that even those in cities who can walk to stores are buying goods that were delivered to the stores in trucks using the roadways. So right now people who live in cities and do not own a car pay no motor fuel tax but definitely benefit from the roads and bridges because the goods they buy are delivered via truck.
