They talk about the highway robbery but there is no revolt yet.
Americans seem to be OK with bending over with no lube.
Your problem is you don't realize the enormity of a $2/mile tax.
Average family here and my wife and I drive 30,000 miles a year between us, that would be $60,000.. (and we have a 7 mile commute to work)
You're talking about $250/week commuter fee if we both leave Long Island daily to work in a car. $13,000 a year is a lot less than $60,000 a year.
Never been there, but don't most people use mass transit for their commuting anyway?
No, a lot of people drive and pay for parking garage. It's $450 a month between the LIRR fee and the Subway fee.
