Yeah, because Lord knows that they won't go without their tax. Of course, the transponders have to be manufactured, installed, maintained, the car has to carry the weight of it (small for the one car, expensive collectively for the millions of cars out there) and the system has to be powered, the airwaves are filled with additional transmissions, the equipment to monitor and collect the various transmissions has to be installed and monitored, requiring technicians and equipment to patrol the state to ensure said equipment is functional, etc...
