If private enterprise can not turn a profit on it why should the state subsidize it? Everyone, except for the totally helpless, should be paying for the government services they receive. Taxes should be based on how many government services you take advantage of not on how much income you have.
Uh huh. Well the Founders seem to disagree with you, that's why they put post roads in the COTUS, a gov't service, the modern iteration of which is the Interstate system. If the gov't subsidizes the INTERstate roads, it's logical that the states (small S) subsidize the INTRA state roads.
Now, the matter of how to pay for such is a different discussion altogether. But once again, here in the real world, some form of universal taxation will likely always be necessary. Now eliminate all the bullshiite/ILLegitimate gov't services (like education), and the VERY FEW legitimate ones that are left could easily be covered by a small sales tax.
