Are you really a conservative? Cause you don't sound like one.
This reminds me of the quote: "The only difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals want free health care, and conservatives want free roads."
I can't imagine anything more conservative than demanding that you only pay for the roads that you use. Like it or not, the current highway system is socialized.

Sounds like a quote of convenience. Never heard it before. And my question wasnt addressed to you. Liberals typically butt in where they arent asked or invited. They so believe that their opinion is the only one that matters.
Answer the question Swankette.

That "free" healthcare (Medicaid etc.) soaks up about 25 percent of a state's budget, "free" education soaks up about 40 percent (and 75 percent of your property tax). Therefore, it would be far easier on the taxpayer to make health and education pay-for-what-you-use and leave the roads "free".
