Ffs. Shit like this is why so many people hate taxes and don't understand what they're for.

These fees pay for roads and road maintenance. They should be paid by those using the roads. In this case, these vehicles will likely use the roads much more than most others.

Why the fuck should people, who potentially use the roads less these businesses, be the only ones paying for them?

    on top of it they are shifting away from taxing gas which lends pressure toward fuel efficient and electric vehicles for one that has not beneficial effect. Then making corpos immune. Corpos are the new churches apparently.

    Semis and heavy trucks cause the majority of road wear because it increases sharply with weight, amazon vans are mostly empty boxes and plastic jiffies.
