“There you go again. Leftist Sierra Club...”

I don’t understand your comments. Are you implying that opposition to the TTC is “leftist”?

The Sierra Club is a leftist group. They are opposed to TTC and any/all roads, preferring mass transit.

Wolfcreek's and most of this opposition/power to the people is populist in nature. The earlier wave of populism in the US lead to FDR and the implementation of socialism.

The populist wants it free. In fact, state and federal govts are moving to tolls because opposition to raising the gas tax is so fierce. So now we see that these populists that didn't want more gas tax, faced with tolls, are suddenly in favor of socializing the cost by raising taxes.

New poll shows Texans want better roads, don't want to pay for them

Myself, I'm a hardcore capitalist, conservative, and republican. I agree with Reagan that the private sector can do it better than the public sector. Let's get away from socializtion/taxes and implement user fees.

Ben would sell his Sister if it would advance his globalist agenda. If you don’t agree with him, you’re a Leftist/Socialist.

Gotta wonder if he’s really from Texas some times. LOL!
