Ain't New Jersey living just grand?

"We" (me, my wife, my two girls, the dog, cat, and rabbit), will be heading to Canton, GA, around 30 miles north ot downtown Atlanta. I've got a good friend down there who's been trying to get us to move down for years, and the right business opportunity finally came up, so off we go.....

I say, good. Let them raise the tolls. At least they are taxing the people that are actually USING the services. That is a good tax in my book. Besides, it will bring in a lot of money from out-of-state drivers.

Obviously, you don't use any toll roads for commuting.

So if they're taxing people who actually use the toll roads, why should my taxes pay for a free ride for you who don't use toll roads?

Just because it's free doesn't mean that someone isn't paying for it.

I say lets put a toll on every road in the freakin state. NO one drives for free.

Nope, my tax dollars are paying for the local town road I take to work every day. The turnpike and parkway cost a lot more to maintain. Since your car is doing the damage to the roads, you should be paying the extra cost. If I want to go into the city for dinner, I will gladly pay the extra cost for the trip.
