The founder of TexasTollParty.com shines a light on the dark corners of special interest boondoggles: Double tax tolls and Trans Texas Corridor tax, toll & debt schemes.
Why does our government grant 99 year monopolies to tolling companies but only 17 year "monopolies" to patent holding inventors? Our government acts as if the contributions from a bunch of lying, cheating lobbyists and foreigners who've never done a damned honest day's work in their life is worth more than the scientists, engineers, doctors, and inventors who have given us the MRI, countless wonder drugs, and true advancements in transportation. This is plain wrong. In the early part of the prior century the government acted to BUST monopolies, not create them.

The rub is this: It's not OUR GOVERNMENT any more.
