The roads are pretty good around my area. Maybe that's because I voted for a small local tax increase for that purpose.
Assuming your correct, it probably has a lot of other contributing factors. The federal government gets by far the largest share of tax revenue, but a lot of transportation issues are felt more at the state and local level.
I doubt transportation problems are due to a lack of federal tax revenue. Keep in mind most governments in the world are smaller than a big US state. Incentives and priorities get distorted a lot when you have one entity responsible for trillions of dollars of annual expenditures.
