Funding roads (taxes, user fees etc)

[MidTowner]

I'm curious why you would think wealthy people would be subsidizing the driving of poor people? I can't think of much progressive about the way we fund roads. Property taxes are slightly progressive, but not to a great extent- especially as equity in one's home is a smaller proportion of wealthy people's wealth than poorer people's, and other types of property taxes are passed on to renters and consumers.

I think its safe to assume (although don't know for sure) that property tax is highly correlated with wealth.  Roads are also funded out of general tax revenue - which is mostly based on progressive taxes.  

I'm not sure if property tax is highly correlated with wealth. Something tells me its not, for the reasons I said above. Intuitively, I would say it's regressive in respect to wealth. But I could be wrong.

It's definitely regressive in respect to income.
