Not any more socialist than people in Midland driving on State highways funded with my and your gas tax. Whats the difference? I'm not asking for anything.

*laugh* It my be "no more socialist", but it's still socialist. Tolling is the most fair way to fund these roads: I get to choose if I want to pay for the road (by paying a toll). The government doesn't dictate whether I must pay for some huge new project (like you and I are paying for the High-5 in Dallas).

The gas tax is fine for maintaining roads, but wouldn't you rather have a choice (through tolls) whether you want to pay for a road? Why do you object to me having a choice whether I want to py 75 cents to cut my comute by 30 minutes?

What's wrong with the model that built the state roads we drive on today? 17 cents a mile is like a $3.40 per gallon TAX. A 5-10 cent/gal tax will more than pay for the roads we need. Whats the source of your audit figures? I would honestly like to read them. If you are right, then I'll switch sides on the issue.
