Private Toll Roads


Posted by Bruno on July 20th, 2007

It’s awful convenient how this works, isn’t it?

  1. Republicans, in an effort to enrich America’s investor class, cut top marginal tax rates for 30 years
  2. America becomes unable to fund upgrades to its highways
  3. The investor class then funds the election of George W. Bush, who goes on to demonstrate just how incompetently the government can be run
  4. The public, skeptical of government since it’s been run so poorly, looks elsewhere for solutions to infrastructure building
  5. The investor class rides to the rescue, using the money they earned by starving the government of revenue (See #1) to bankroll a tsunami of private investment that will “save” our highways.
  6. Rinse, repeat.
