That is not the way the system works. Where do you start and where do you end a policy like this?
The businesses are New Hampshire taxpayers. They already pay into the system. If their tax dollars are used to build roads and bridges to enable customers to drive to their store what about facilities for boaters patronizing their stores by boat? Also, in some situations they collect the NH Rooms and Meals Tax which would increase with higher revenue..
Just curious: Would you say the same thing about people with children in schools? They should pay the entire cost because they are the people who benefit?
If you have no drivers license should you be responsible for paying for highway upkeep?
What about the Fire Department? At the end of the year divide the costs up and bill only the people who used their services?
