Rick Perry is advocating tollways, where only the users pay, instead of a tax increase.

Yeah, that's what they said in Oklahoma 50 years ago when they started building toll roads.

As a born and bred Okie, I'm glad Texas will start building toll roads. It will flatten the Texas economy down to the growth rate experienced by Oklahoma.

Maybe Texas can lower it's economic performace to match that of another large tract of real estate with lots of toll roads. France.

I'll stay here in Arizona, where we successfully shouted down calls for toll roads about 5 years ago, and instead continue to rapidly build freeways and our economy.

My house is *still* going up in value, despite its gain of 25% last year, and the current "bubble". How you texicans doing?

The strongest state economy in the nation for several years now, even stronger than Texas, was Florida. A state crisscrossed with toll roads.

Nazi's wore pants. So if you wear pants, does that make you a Nazi (using your silly logic)?
