A toll road is actually a double tax...you pay for roads w gas taxes...then pay an additional tax when you pay for a toll road

Toll roads are also rife with fraud and corruption with the politicians who run them.

Toll roads are really double tax roads

“Toll roads are really double tax roads”

Yes, they are. It should be one or the other but not both. I have no problem in theory paying a state gas tax to maintain the roads and bridges (as long as the money is actually used for that purpose). The tolls in my state should be removed because they were instituted to pay to build the road long ago and the gas tax pays for it’s maintenance (supposedly).

The federal gas tax needs to be eliminated. There should be no such thing as Federal roads or bridges, but it’s a slush fund to get the unions to the polls so it’ll continue.
