Yeah, but this fancy (not really, more retarded, are you what, twelve?) calculus example assumes that there is competition present. If there is a multitude of roads with equal quality (meaning that the sum of comfort, travel time, roadside stops, scenery etc is equal) that goes to the same location, than there will be competition between road companies and the toll price will be close to the maintenance price. But if there is only one road that is quickest and safest and etc and goes to a specific location, then a monopoly exists, and the price will be very high. As we all know, there isnt several roads to choose from when going from A to B, and therefore private road tolls will always be monopolical and wasteful. Of course, trains can be seen as a cokmpetitor to roads, but trains have a higher initial maintenance cost, and is therefore only economical when travelling a larger distance, and is therefore not comparable to roads.
"It doesn't hurt the poor as badly as the present gas taxes..."
And it doesnt hurt as much as a bullet in the head. Is not an argument for tolls. Just an argument that poor people should be exempt from gas and property tax, which i fully support. Your idiocy is presently being hidden by your fursona, but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Come on, have a real argument or accept defeat, why dont ya?
