Taxation is theft.

However, she distinguished the situation in the instant case from another federal decision relating to the use of highway toll revenue for public transit, which found that such use was permissible because transit alleviated congestion on the facilities that were being tolled, creating a "functional relationship" that conveyed a benefit to those paying the toll.

This is an interesting bit of logic, but I'm not sure the judge considered a reasonable extension of it:

Couldn't the toll itself be considered a congestion alleviation measure? That's pretty much what has happened at the bridge and tunnel crossing of the Port Authority of NY and NJ, where traffic volumes declined noticeably after their last round of toll hikes.

I will support toll roads the day if they have tax free gas stations on them and can prove that they get no money from the government for maintenance

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They do the same thing with gasoline taxes, tacking on all their little pet projects.

I have been fighting these god forsaken tolls for 21 years
