Gas taxes were wasted on pet projects. Mileage taxes will be wasted on pet projects.

Exactly! This is what i try to tell people who use the 'I am for higher/more taxes on subject A, because this way there is more money to spend on subject A to make it better'
This is absolute bullshit. Like you said, they grab money for all kinds of shit when they feel like it. Here in our country they say 'we can't afford to get more employees in nursing homes, we don't have the money', while people who live there don't get enough care and get showered once a week, when they're lucky - and that's a fact, not exaggerating this.
1 month later the EU demands a couple of billion extra and it is wired to them the next day... Magic?
