I refuse to pay for rail service for others to use. If private industry thinks passenger rail service will make money then they will build it themselves. The government has no business in the transportation service and they certainly don’t need to take my money to support it.

No they won't.
Private industry funds politicians to obstruct passenger rail competition so that they can maintain the status quo without investing in newer, more efficient technology.
