True enough, I agree with you and many others here about the fairness of gas tax vs. tolls, but the cost of the distribution of goods is all passed on to the buyer. The price of the last ten things you bought included all the gas taxes, tolls, driver paychecks, etc, plus a sales tax on top of it if you are unlucky enough not to live in NH or a few other states. Given that almost everything we buy does involve the highway infrastructure at some point, as you say, all taxpayers are contributing to that infrastructure, and in a pretty fair way based on the costs they inflict that infrastructure.
