> True, gas taxes don't pay for it all.

My point is that gas taxes don’t even cover a majority of it. US roads are paid for out general funds, and pretending that they are paid for out of gas taxes exclusively, or even in a majority is dishonest.

Any argument that argues that gas taxes are a use tax for the road is dead in the water.

So just introducing a distraction to their argument to muddy the comments instead of commenting on their point.

That wasn't his argument though. It's just an example you're nitpicking on a tangent.
