Sometimes that’s all a person can do.
A car isn’t the most expensive thing in the world, if that’s their only expense, outside of rent and all that. A person can run their car for $200/month.

The tolls could push the cost of his car into unaffordable territory.

Do we want people enable to work or not?

Why are you assuming that everyone who wants a job has to drive a car to get to it? There are plenty of other options here that can also help the people who pay the damn taxes for the roads by getting freeloaders off the road and reducing traffic congestion.

Live close to your job.

Ride a bike to work. Walk to work. Hitch a ride with a co-worker.

You know … all the things Americans used to do before cars weren’t widely used.
