In your attempt to illustrate the problems with these foreign interests owning U.S. highways, you actually managed to highlight the one point (the elimination of overpaid toll collectors) that most people would actually consider a benefit of this kind of arrangement.

Part of the problem is the fantasy wages that people often believe. When I tell people that I used to be in the UAW they assume that I made at least $20 an hour. I didn't, I made just over $12 an hour.

So you think that toll collectors are overpaid if they make more than $10 per hour?
And if they get paid less and get the food stamps and subsidized housing (they will qualify if they have children), how will it benefit the economy?
Or maybe you think that toll collectors deserve to be poor and should commute to their work on bicycle or on foot?

In you anti-union zeal you fail to mention that toll collectors are about one one-hundredth of a percent of the cost of running a toll road.
