>I doubt a libertarian scheme exists that could actually privatize them.

Private highways have been successful over the last several hundred years. The earliest highways in the United States were built without tax dollars. If you can't conceive of how roads could be privatized, I would say you lack imagination.

I agree that the gas tax bothers me less than other taxes, since it tends to be paying for use of the roads. However, if we were to tax it as much as other countries I would be offended.
