Before there is a toll, there usually is a highway project. And that project needs millions of $ to simply get on the way. Setting up a toll, for a certain number of years, can help cover the cost for the highway construction &amp; help construct new ones.<br><br>FYI, there already is something simliar to an oxygen tax with the now infamous carbon tax in some countries. Is it a bad thing? Not necessarily, tax do not only have a purpose to milk people, they can also change behavior.<br><br>All this, of course, starts from the principle that the government is working for the people...JacquesSat, 10 May 2008 19:31:01 -0000
