Congratulations! You, John Q Public, have paid for a brand new bridge! But wait, there’s more! Not only do you get to pay for it, but you get to pay for the maintenance on the bridge! That money comes out of your fuel taxes, but because we can, we also spent half again as much to install a TOLL PLAZA! Now you can enjoy paying more each and every time you use the bridge! And what will we use it for? TO PAY PEOPLE TO COLLECT THE TOLLS! All this can be yours, all you gotta do is BE A SUCKER!

I’m sure you could get some agreement from somebody somewhere ~ but the fact is bridges need maintenance. Who do you propose to pay for the bridge’s upkeep?
