In reply to the discussion: What's wrong with America: 'Why should I pay a toll for someone else's bridge?' [View all]liberal_at_heart
(12,081 posts)35. I know this is going to be one of those when I was a kid posts but
I remember when a toll was a few quarters. Now it is anywhere from $3 to $5 one way. If they toll the 90 they are going to have to reduce the price. There are going to be people, I am one of them, that cannot pay that much money for a toll. It is definitely a poor tax that many simply cannot pay. Luckily for me I'm about to be moving north of the lake, but for many they will have to deal with this or simply not go into the city. Maybe if the city loses enough business they will make a stink with the state and they can reduce the price.

The link author is still promoting a toll. Which is a bad idea and harms the poor.
