… more than people realize!
Family: it is well known family time is important and working for a living to a point interferes with that process, but it is a necessary and for the most part good evil. There is much to be gained other than money by spending hours working “together”!
Those who can afford it spend money on toll roads to get where they are going faster, many times the place they are heading is home, home to their families.
Many of the working poor work two jobs to make ends meet - just to get bare necessities. They weave through side streets, the long way home, because they have no money for tolls. They miss those few extra moments with their families.
Society leans toward the rich. More and more, government is pushing for toll roads. Shame, isn’t it that being rich affords more than just luxuries?
That said money to fix roads has to come from somewhere… wouldn’t taxing by percentage be more fair?
I know I went from point A - tolls affect families to Point B - taxing by percentage. Just the way my mind works. Everything affects something else. It is not easy coming up with solutions that do right for everyone. I doubt I could do it - well.
