Your signature says you are from Minnesota. Local roads in Minnesota are paid for by property taxes. I agree that user taxes pay for much of the cost but not all. Also what about highway patrol, etc. The same would apply in most states.
My point is that in a "society" we take care of each other and use government to meet public needs.
