“This desire to tax travel on taxpayer built roads may not work out the way the people doing this are thinking. Just like car pool lanes and other attempts to control social behavior, toll roads may in the end become failures.”

Several decades ago a large truck plowed through a small town, killing a bunch of innocent people. It wound up that the driver was not in a hurry (an independent) so he took the side highway to avoid the huge toll increase on the Ohio Turnpike. They actually rolled back the tolls somewhat because of it.

Eventually they will simply toll cars the moment they leave their driveway. Newer cars today probably have that capability and older cars will simply be fitted with transponders (and yes, they will watch for cars that are ‘not complying’). It is a scary thing when government knows every movement of yours.

Funny thing is we used to fear God was watching everything we did, seems we no longer believe that so maybe God just gave us a new king.

1Sa 8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
