I think a major problem now is the fact that the intended tax no longer goes directly for the gov't service. They all go into the "general fund". That way no one is really sure what the hell which is paying for what.

The gas tax was originally intended to pay the repair and upkeep of roads. What does it pay for now? It goes into the general fund. We need a total overhaul of all tax accounting, which is very unlikely to happen.
