Here’s a novel idea. If the people in Miami think they’d benefit from a monorail, let the people who benefit from it pay for it.

[Here’s a novel idea. If the people in Miami think they’d benefit from a monorail, let the people who benefit from it pay for it.]

I’ll try to remember that when I pay my gasoline taxes to pay for the roads you use.

The FEDERAL GOVT paid for the interstate highway system in the 50’s, not the local residents that were located where the roads were built. The roads were built based on where the powerful congressmen were located, not where the most effect was realized.

I gladly pay for certain things in the federal budget that I will never utilize.

And if it’s such a big deal, fine, front the money and let the ticket prices have a surcharge that will pay it off. I dno’t know where you live, but I can pretty much guarantee my town didn’t see any stimulus money, since we are a red town.
