I don't like toll roads but I am becoming a fan of so called regressive taxes. On the federal side, the bottom 50% don't pay any taxes, probably true in most states too. So they vote for who is going to give them things with no concern for cost. Time for the takers to get some skin in the game.

I agree with you on regressive taxes but I cannot see how tolls are regressive, but the gas tax isn’t. For tolls, the so-called poor, will simply stay off the toll roads, and thus not pay anything. For the gas tax, they pay if they drive - that simple.
