We already have a car toll.

It's called the gas tax.

In any sense, most taxes are regressive taxes- the sales tax, gas tax, tolling...



The big, and unfortunate long term budgetary doom of most western nations is the welfare state.

I honestly don't think we need a tolling tax, but at the same time, we don't want to lavishly spend more. We need to reduce our debt burden. Especially if a recession comes, or if oil stays low in cost.

BTW, "Fiscal Policy" is government-speak for interest repayments. We spend quite a bit on it, no?

Would be nice if we could cut that down and reduce sales taxes.
