FRANKFORT, Ky. — U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is proposing elimination of the gasoline tax to ease the financial burden on Americans.

Paul said he intends to make the proposal an amendment to any energy bill that comes before the Senate. He proposes offsetting the lost revenue with a corresponding reduction in foreign aid and corporate welfare.

Such a proposal is a huge longshot because of concerns about losing federal money that goes to maintain and expand the nation's highways.

How will the roads be maintained without the gasoline tax? By the GOP's reserves of pixie dust?

Maybe Paul's plan is to allow America's roads to turn back into dirt roads? Or will he borrow money to fund pot hole and bridge repairs?

the country is broke, we can't afford roads, unless we are building them in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Roads are socialistic. God intended we drive on dirt roads.

Ceasar built Roman roads as an act of socialism. The military built the Roman roads (no private contractors) using tax money.

Republicans really are retards. I mean they know next to nothing about history or facts in general.....

Three quick sources say you're wrong...

Roman roads enabled the Romans to move armies and trade goods and to communicate

Rome made a great deal of money from trade in Europe. Some of this trade involved transport by sea. More frequently, the Romans used roads. Also with so much of Western Europe conquered by the Romans, the Romans needed roads to move their troops around quickly. Poorly built roads would not help this.

Despite the grand spectacle that the road network really was, the original functionality of Roman roads was mainly designed for military exploitation.

Do you have a source?

Oh my god. You seem to think socialism means "welfare" or some such.

Socialism means built by tax dollars by the govt. Anything built by the govt and with govt money is socialism.

Roman legions = socialist entities

Roman roads = socialist constructs
