I would put that in the category of things the government does not do
well.
In the Los Angeles area, they don't seem to do it much at all, which is
why
traffic is such a problem. Private toll roads are possible and desirable
IMO.

Er, McKelvy, aren't tolls another form of taxation? I didn't think that I
would ever see the day when you would volunatarily propose a tax.

George doesn't seem to get that the one of the major reasons for the
success
of the U.S. is the fact that we have such low taxes compared to other
countries.

What you don't seem to get is that George is saying that the US already has
very low taxes compared to countries that enjoy a similar standard of
living. And if taxes go any lower so will standard of living with less money
to spend on infrastructure, education and healthcare.
