Well from what I read earlier in the thread, this is a private toll road. Do you have a problem with private toll roads? And where do you think private toll roads get money to operate?
I'll have to think on the subject of private vs public roads. My inclination is to think that roads are an essential public work to enable people freedom of movement in daily life and in case of emergency. We pay income taxes and taxes at the pump for it, granted the income taxes are not equally shared, of course.
The company that owns the Texas toll road and others like the Chicago Skyway, filed for bankruptcy in 2014. I'll have to read up where they are now, and the debate of private vs public. The Wiki on privately owned roads is sorely outdated.
I forgot to include property taxes in our payment for public roads.
