CMV: I believe toll roads are bad and just another tax for what our government should already be providing.

It seems every city has them or wants them, and even when its proposed to only last a few years, they somehow keep running cause the free money is good. Sure, some of them are well maintained, but aren't all of our roads supposed to be well maintained? Toll roads basically tell us only those who can afford to pay to drive get quality roads that our government is supposed to provide anyways. 
And for the most part, private corporations are the ones that end up getting a good deal out of the projects while we get shafted. If our legislators need money to improve our roads, shouldn't they be upfront about it and tell us how they plan on doing so? But even then, it seems like people are somehow ok with toll roads and understand the costs that are needed. Yet, when other taxes are proposed, people get up in arms because the word 'tax' was used as a way to improve things.


Why isn't this issue brought up more often?

Two benefits to having a toll: 1) The people who use it are the ones who help to pay for it, and 2) Gives people an incentive to not use it if they can avoid it, thereby reducing congestion. 

It's similar to paying a fare when you ride the bus or the subway.
