My point is that you are angry at the very folks who get the job done, for making a profit. These folks use those profits to continue to get the job done. That government takes more than these folks who do the work, is just an indication that your anger is out of line. Roads are important, yet few will believe government gets them built and maintained efficiently. In truth, we never needed government to build highways, and they do a typically lousy job. "The best way to understand the notion of private roads is to examine America's own era of private turnpikes. In 1821, there were over 4,000 miles of private roadway in the state of New York. Between 1792 and 1840, some 230 New England turnpike companies built and operated 3,800 miles of roads. It was private enterprise that really got the "show on the road" in America." lp.org Dan B.
