> But food at the supermarket, clothes, even water from the tap are all priced without regard to individual income. Why would road usage be any different?

If you buy more/better clothes you end up paying more. You also end up paying more to upkeep said clothes.

If you consume more water, you end up paying more for it; Progressive water pricing is very common around the world.

A progressive road usage pricing scheme would not be out of the ordinary.
