>There is a libertarian solution to everything
Oh my..
I must have missed the part of your argument where you conclusively prove that the "libertarian solution" is the best option in this instance.

Touting the road system as a government success. Please.
This is reversing the burden of proof. You are the one who wants to alter the status quo, you should have to prove why your solution would be "better".
From my perspective, I can get anywhere I need to, and anything I need can get to me, consistently, reliably, and at the cost of a tiny fraction of my income. Seems fine to me. I see no reason to radically alter the system, and doing so introduces obvious risks I am not willing to accept. So not only is the burden of proof on you, it's a very heavy burden.

There's many different solutions, but of course you are a liberal who prefers to be spoon fed. It's as if you automatically assumed the government solution is the best option sigh
Roads are payed for already by ticket fines,
and freight/shipping deliveries.
Almost all of the federal money for road construction and maintenance comes through the Federal Highway Trust Fund (HTF). It's a standard PayGo operation, but the entirety of their budget comes from taxes. Primarily the $0.184/gallon tax on gasoline and a $0.244/gallon tax on diesel. The remainder from an additional tax on tires and on the sales of industrial vehicles.
