There is no “free market” for private industry owning our roads and charging tolls to citizens who are forced to use those roads. This is a kooky libertarian idea that has to die.

Who is 'forcing' anyone to use this road?

Why do you think that someone or some company can not build, maintain, and if there is a market, charge to use the facility?

Don't want to pay for the use, take any other route that you desire. Roads leading into DC are plentiful.

Who is forcing anyone to use the road? Maybe, it would be people who have to get to their jobs and to the store?

This is more private/public partnership fascism. Libertarians have to begin engaging their brains and rethinking in light of the economic crash and bankster bailouts. There should be a wall between business and public functions. Otherwise, both are corrupted and there is no free market - as we are seeing right now.
