OTOH, you want me, who is not using the road, to be the ignorant sucker who is paying for your free road.

Neither is correct. I prefer TxDOT AND the US Congress to stop futzing around with the gas taxes and stop funneling them to pet pork projects and restore the full gas tax to be used for maintaining existing roads and building new ones as intended. Toll roads are not a solution and not a panacea to any but government educated morons who haven't figured out that the governent has found another way to rip us (the taxpayers) off!

TxDot doesn't have the authority to tax or appropriate money.

"...government has found another way to rip us(the taxpayers) off"

User fees are not taxes. You are the one who is advocating more taxes. You want to socialize the cost of roads. You want me to pay more taxes so you can ride for free.
