Upkeep? What are we children? As a Freeman I cost the government much less that those who are not freemen costs.As for maintenance, one more time for those who came on the short bus: I pay when I buy gas.
And you honestly believe that that covers the totality of your portion of upkeep, do you? That's in the same class of answer as what you get from 4-year-olds when asked how much they think that diamond ring costs.
"A dollar".

Bob, do you have issues tracking conversations? I mean, do you not recall that the comments were about upkeep (aka "maintenance) of the highways, roads, etc. you use and which you seem to be under the impression that your contribution by way of gas taxes satisfies your per capita responsibility? I've linked back through the thread so you can review the conversation; I hope this helps you.
And speaking of gas taxes, why do you pay those at all? After all, they must be as voluntary as every other tax as pertains to FOTL, mustn't they? And what about HST? Are you paying that at the grocery store, hardware store, etc? Or are you sucking it in because these are unavoidable consumption taxes applied at the cash register to all save those with government-issued documentation granting the proper bearer freedom from those taxes, a sticky situation that FOTList incantation doesn't allow you to duck?
I'd love for you to cite (as would, I'm sure, CRA and the boys and girls out of Dwight Duncan's office at Queen's Park) the stores that give you a walk on those taxes just so there could be some independent verification. But I shan't hold my breath
