The Post's series points out the failure of toll roads to succeed and be used. It delves into the greed behind what is more of the raping of America. The system is wrought with corruption and greed, and after the toll roads fail, at a high cost to taxpayers, the developers have already made their money and left - to start new toll road ventures elsewhere.
The privatization of America by the capitalist right is a growing phenomenon. A society wants its government to provide basic care and support for its citizens. One of these is basic and safe roadways. If the government isn't expanding heavily used roads such as C-470 or building new ones, talk to your elected representatives. Don't let the greedy capitalists try to sell you a road you have to pay to use. How much are you willing to pay for basic entitlement? Should the use of a public road be just for the haves and not the have-nots? Write your elected representative and stop the privatization of our public roadways.
