"Everyone that suggests we follow the gasoline tax policy of Europe seems to forget two things. We are a country in which many have to drive long distances to work. And we're not a cradle to grave socialist nation."

While that's true, the people pushing for toll roads are, in effect, doing the same thing here - considering that the gas tax can get just as much accomplished at one tenth of the cost per mile.

do you have a source for your claim that a gas tax paid for road only costs 1/10th the cost of a toll road?? I find that hard to believe.
