We do pay for our roads - half through gas taxes/car fees, and half through general taxes (i.e., those taxes everyone complains are always too high).
The question is what should general taxes pay for? Water? Roads? Electricity? Do we want high taxes and free roads, or lower taxes and paid roads? Shouldn't we debate the pros and cons of each?
And lastly - of course road payment must be made fully private. It can be. We have done it.
