RThere's no argument that you don't pay enough in taxes. The rising debt shows the gap between revenue and spending. Whether the taxes for roads cover the cost of the roads is debatable. I can guarantee that if roads went private the cost would be higher, prices would meet costs and include a healthy profit.

So in fact, you're not paying for it twice, they're taking too little with two different charges.



And whoever gets in next debt will continue to rise.
