"Infrastructure", even from the circumscribed point of view of the trucker, is more than just roads. It's the judicial and legal system that enforces road safety laws and keeps crime down; the hospital system that treats road accident victims; the regulatory system that oversees the roadworthiness of vehicles; the price management system that keeps petrol prices stable; and so on. All of these things benefit the trucker, and none of them have to do with gas and tag fees.If you're going to make 1,001 small adjustments to the system to get back essentially to where you started, I fail to see the point of making 1,001 small adjustments.Only someone who had conflated moral worth with material wealth could assume that the only basis for decisionmaking was via economics.</blockquote>
