Right now, the tolls on the Mass Pike (an E-W road) are being used pay for

probably
rarely
use, while the people who use the road regularly are paying zip, zero,
nada!
Except there is a flaw in that arguement.....if you live in
Springfield you may not use the Cental Artery but when you
go to the local store those Kumquats you bought.....they
probably came by a truck that traveled the central artery
on it's delivery route.

In that entire store, the dust on the floor is the only thing that
didn't get there by a truck that traveled on the central artery.

You do realize that when those Kumquats arrive at the store in
Springfield, it travels various roads including the central
artery enroute to seven dozen stores?


So maybe if you don't want to pay for the central artery maybe
we should block all the food from being delivered to your
Springfield store via the roads in eastern Massachusetts?

The flaw in YOUR argument is that you are economically RAPING
one portion of the population to support the road that is LARGELY
used by another portion of the population.

You speak like someone who lives on the north or south shore
and doesn't have to pay for the road that you actually and DIRECTLY
use. How typical.
