Compare This Tollers!

I've been busy with the launch of our new “Perry Gone Wild - Eminent Domain 4 foreign profits” Movie, but here’s a thought about a recent toll article in the Austin Statesman this week.

I’d like to say I enjoyed Ben Wear’s article comparing the gas tax to the toll tax, but I didn’t.

Why? Because he didn’t do the job.

1) The article failed to mention that tolling freeways creates a whole new tax, not to mention the bureaucracy that comes with it. Tolls are a whole new unaccountable double tax, when we already have one form of accountable taxation - the gas tax. We should have and still can index our gas tax, as other states have done.

2) The article also failed to compare the real cost of tolls compared to the additional 5 to 17 cent gas tax needed to replace the tolls. If you pay 20 cents per mile for a toll road x 20 mpg for the average car, you'll pay the equivalent of $4.00 per gallon more for the tolls! Compare that to the 5 to 17 cents per gallon for the additional gas tax.


Which one do you choose?
$4.00 Toll Tax per mile or .05 to .17 cents Gas Tax per mile?

It's simple. Bureaucracy ALWAYS costs more.
