LOL!! They pay more in income tax than Canadians so.
Acutally on a per capita basis, its the other way around, sunshine. U.S.
taxation for middle incomes is much lower
than ours.

again BULLSHIT! The ROAD TAX (now the FUEL TAX) is to pay for all
building and maintainence of commercially used roads in Canada. 4% of
the tax is used for that.
Actually the road tax (and motive fuel taxes) are not 'purpose taxes' as
they are in the United States. In Canada taxes
from various sources including motive fuel taxes are sent to general
revenue. From that general revenue, the federal
government sends transfer payments and partially funds improvements to
inter-provincial routes (mostly the Trans-Canada
Highway, the Alaska Highway, the Mckenzie Highway and provides subsidies for
Marine Atlantic for ferry services to
and from Newfoundland Labrador.
In the United States commercial fee and motive fuel taxes are directly sent
to the Interstate Highways, but the funds go
to the states based on an apportion of total mileage of Interstates in each.
Even if 4% of taxes is used for paying for maintainance, it would not cover
100% of the total cost.
Since there are technically no federally 100% funded highways in Canada, the
provinces take up the cost of improvments
and maintainence.
Also consider too sunshine, that taxes also pay for the paramedic services
in B.C.
To compare: a short ride in a paramedic ambulance for a BC citizen is under
$75.00 A similar trip for a U.S. citizen to
his hospital being the same distance will set him back about $600.00.
And before you start screaming that isn't true. I don't care what you think
on that one. Friends of mine in the U.S. are
paramedics and they tell me it is true, even for medical insurance policy
holders. They see it very day.
