Conducting war on the wage earners of this country, are we now?

Well, let's look at the Pennsylvania Turnpike System. If you want a job as a toll collector, you have to have political connections to powerful pols who view Turnpike revenues as their personal playpen - while the road remains in crappy shape.

I personally would be in favor of removing the tolls altogether - that is what was supposed to have happened once the bonds used to build the turnpike were paid off.

PA TP is instituting an E-Z Pass arrangement where if you don't use the pass, you have to pay double at the booth. It's a ripoff.
