You’re abso right. I won’t vote for someone who illegally charges the public to use what belongs to them.

You can have gas taxes or tolls, thieves. Not both.

Yea, living in Texas we had a hell of fight with Perry. Seems he calculated that charging us 20 to 50 cents per mile in tolls (with most of that money going to foreign companies) to drive on our highways was preferable to raising the gas tax by what amounts to, at most, 1 cent per mile (for most cars). You see, tolls are “user fees”, which is JUST FINE, in his twisted mind, whereas the gas tax is a “tax” and he would have none of that.

We slowed him down, but he is still doing a LOT of damage.
