Roads may be subsidized in a direct way. Take into account how much the automobile and truck industry inject into the economy and that paints a different picture. From the miner digging the ore and the coal to the steel makers and on to the parts manufacturers and finally to the car assemblers. Every step along the way injects taxes into the governments coffers and helps to fuel the economy. That is why the governments fall over themselves to help attract automobile related plants and jobs. The amount of taxes paid by all the steps and components of the manufacture of autos, parts and fuel is a major backbone of our economy. All those taxes raised is what pays for the roads. All those people employed who can buy nice houses and pay their fair share and more of property taxes is what drives the economy. All those subsidized roads is what makes our lifestyle possible. We have the best lifestyle man has ever had. Fresh produce from the south. Quick access to hospitals, stores and jobs. Cheap transit locally and provincially. All being done because of those "subsidized" roads. Those subsidized roads is what makes our civilization possible.
