But ?. A large percentage of highway costs are paid by other taxes, gas, diesel, etc. And most of the elderly paid 15% of their earnings to the Federal Government in the form of social security taxes and are getting back what they paid.
These are taxes paid which aren't included in your federal or state returns. They're additional taxes raising your actual rates much higher.
