Toll Roads
Toll a word having some roots in the Greek telones meaning
tax collector or telos meaning tax...
There are some older, existing, toll roads which were built
prior to the Federal Interstate System...But, there will soon
be more...
It appears that the Federal gas tax is not enough to pay for
new roads, and the maintenance of the old...It also appears
that our Government Representatives fear additional taxation...
So, since people want to get from point A to point B in this
hurried day of Palm Pilots and Blackberries, they will begin
to once again pay for the privilege to do so....
Just remember that it "costs" to go from A to B...Nothing
has changed in the history of man...Leave your cave and
cross the river once cost only 1 bear skin now you need
an Ez-Pass purchased with a credit card...
Just remember the new modern toll road will come fully
equipped with new modern pot holes....Pumps
