> Someone in Montana should not have to pay to rebuild homes in California.

Montana receives way more Federal aid per capita than California. So it's fair to say that Californians shouldn't be paying for road maintenance in Montana.

I agree that Californians should not pay for Montana road maintenance.

Federal taxes pay for interstate highways and many large infrastructure projects in states, so indirectly CA pays for MT roads and vice versa.

But obviously, more rugged individualism is the solution /s
