“all interstates should be privatized - there is zero reason the federal government should be involved with highways.”

You do understand that toll rates pushing 50 cents per mile and more exist on some already-existing private highways, and more than 20 cents per mile is now COMMON on those types of highways. And that’s just the beginning - once they get their stranglehold on ground transportation, then they’re really TURN THE SCREWS on drivers.

We drive 20,000 miles a year, and I don’t have the extra $4k to $10k laying around to pay those politically-connected oligarchs, but if you do, then more power to you.

I prefer my 2 cent per mile gas tax, as $400 per year is a LOT EASIER for this FReeper to afford.
