Texans driven mad as tolls burn holes in their wallets

So that is how you think that the world works? We are inherently a corptocracy or oligarchy? We should just surrender to our corporate overlords? You don't lean towards libertarian. You lean towards corporate shill.

Not everyone hates every tax. For example, Warren Buffett has repeatedly called for more taxes on his class. People particularly don't tend to care about taxes that don't apply to them.

I didn't say surrender or deal with it. Should have been addressed right away. Was there just a "good ole' boy" understanding when project was completed tolls would go away? If its not down on paper it didn't happen. Now you understand why the rest of the population HATES fee's, tax's, etc. because they almost never go away.


THAT'S how the world works.

Pick a tax and roll with it. I prefer nationwide sales tax, fair for everyone, less complicated. Everything taxed same rate, could almost eliminate IRS.

Temporary opt outs become permanent all the time. Don't you agree?

That makes mainly the poor and middle class paying for most of these sales taxes. The rich would love these.

Percentage wise, the poor are affected more by sales taxes.

That's not the context of "ass " i was thinking. You can't tell me what i was intending.

Why does talking to repubs always end up coming to the lowest common denominator.

We were told by state leaders that after the construction was paid for the tolls would go away. We voted that extra funding to the DoT would not go to tollways. Neither was honored.

And seriously you need to speak for yourself. You don't get to speak for the world or what people's opinions are.

According to Gallup, 42% of the population say they are fine with the taxes they are paying.

This is from around 2006 but the goal is still the same.

The rich would benefit from this.
