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.

Good grief! 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.

It has nothing to do with "anti-union zeal." And I don't give a damn how little toll collectors are paid compared to the rest of the cost of running a toll road. There is an enormous "hidden" cost in toll collection in many parts of this country -- primarily in the form of lost productivity and increased travel time associated with traffic congestion.
