Okay, monopolies are not arbitrary. That stores have an geographical monopoly in teh surrounding area is only relevant in countries without cars. And of course there is multiple roads that lead to the same place. But the traveltime differs and there is only one road that is optimal, which has the shortest route. And all private monopolies have high prices. And saying that people would move is like saying that if you dont like taxes, move to somalia, meaning that people are not that flexible, many cant afford to move. Also, the ratinal monopolist will set the highest possible price that people still will pay of course. The majority of roaduse is not recreational, meaning people havve to use at least one mode of ransportation. This disqualifies dollar competition concerning roads. Method of payment matters not, its not the system of tossing a coin that is the matter of this discussion. You are claiming that poor people will be better of without taxes but with tolls (or subfees or whatever), i claim the opposite. You havent presented a reason for why they would be better off, except that taxes are expensive lol. Well, tolls are expensive too, and because of the monopolyeffect, prolly more so in most cases (meaning that just because there is one place where tolls are cheap, the overall trend is towards expensive).
