Didn't say every road should be a toll road. However, you said it was unrealistic for roads to be built by private industry, when in fact that was the way it was originally done.

Private industry sets tolls on major roads they build. This allows them to build roads they don't have to toll (such as neighborhood roads), hire workers to build these roads (helping the economy), and turn a profit for their shareholders.

Who pays for the other roads that aren't toll roads?
