Vance Longwell: Mr. Parker,
Vance Longwell: Mr. Parker, I've tried for days to figure out how you are arriving at the conclusion that cyclists don't pay taxes.
JK: Try this:
I have a car. I pay property tax, car registration, gas taxes. None of this gives the legal right to drive a motor bike on the road - that requires payment of user fees FOR THAT VEHICLE.
Why would anyone think it is different for bicycles?
Thanks
JK
