[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[Gay State Conservative]

Cross any of the bridges...or use any of the tunnels...in,or near,NYC and it sets you back a cool $15.

And you've gotta wait a half hour (or more) for the privilege.

Keep voting for the Marxist (aka Democrat) and this is to be expected. I live in the conservative South and we just got rid of our last mandatory toll road here in Atlanta. I’m a refugee from the Bronx. I’d never go back.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Just wait...within a few years all autos will come equipped w/GPS as standard equipment. Once Big Brother can track every vehicle’s whereabouts on a minute-by-minute basis, it will seek to turn that info into financial streams based on mileage driven. Oh, it won’t be called a tax — it’ll be something more benign. Probably a ‘user fee’ which they’ll deduct from your bank account once a month...

There’s little more humorous than a northern Virginian complaining about high toll charges.

[TheBattman]

So - jump on that piece of blacktop for a couple of miles, and pay $6? Seriously? What percentage of the $ collected are actually going to maintain that piece of highway?

[TheBattman]

And you know what - if governments at the federal and state level actually limited themselves to their Constitutional purposes - there wouldn’t be a need to charge people to build roads.

Appropriately named

[golux]

We paid taxes to build roads for ALL of us... Until Government + private corporations with client as the "citizen" (Fascism) learned how to collude to separate the rich, who get there faster, from the poor, who sit in traffic.

When JFK opened it it was not a toll road. The road opened before the airport did. Us “kids” who lived in the area would rat race from Tyson’s Corner to the airport and back. Over 120 MPH side by side.
