Someone needs to explain to this guy the difference between taxes (fall on everyone) and tolls (fall on people who use specific roads).

Let's do the math. The cost of crossing one of those tunnels or bridges comes to about $10 a mile.

Meanwhile even if the Democrats had proposed an increase in the gas tax of 24 cents a gallon, the state gas tax would still cost the driver of the average car less than two cents a mile.M

Not that I'm for the toll increase but,I don't usually drive to Manhattan to - buy groceries, go to the store, go to the Post Office, drive my kids to school, etc... every trip in my car costs me 2 cents a mile with this gas tax. Hell, it is costing me more to mow my lawn with this gas tax.

In the long run the gas tax will take more money out of everyones pocket in NJ because not everyone is driving to Manhattan in the state.

The PA is mismanaging billions of dollars. They need to do more with less just like everyone else in the private sector is being asked. "Shared Sacrifice" you know...

That's like saying everyone who buys cigaretttes isn't paying a tax on those cigarettes since not everyone buys cigarettes.

A toll is a tax and a rather inefficient one when one takes into account the effort used to collect it.
