I’m confused by your post. I’m trying to imagine a scenario where someone can afford to buy, operate, register, insure, and maintain a car … but can’t afford to pay the cost of the roads that the car drives on.

That mindset you bring to the table here is exactly how we end up with welfare cases driving luxury cars and buying $300 Nike sneakers.

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?
