Texas Republicans are in favor of taxing the middle class. They don't get it at all.

Spare us the inane spam, you have no idea what you are talking about. From the article (did you even read it?):

A bill to index the gas tax to the Consumer Price Index died in the 2005 Legislature...Perry opposes fuel-tax increases, said spokesman Robert Black. State transportation Chairman Rick Williamson has pushed for privatization and toll roads as an alternative means of financing highway construction.

Privatization. One of the principles the left so vigorously criticized Reagan about (and Thatcher, too.)

Do they really believe in privatization and smaller government anywhere? That is the question.

You want to build a private toll road? Fine, acquire the property and the money "privately". If you want right of ways for access to public roads you'll have to pay for those ingress and egress rights with private money.
