Many people are discussing how Trump's infrastructure plan will take shape and most importantly, how it will be paid for. Two Trump advisors released a detailed plan last month. Libertarian pundits are praising the public- private partnership plan's use of new tolls and added user fees across the country. But they also note that the fuel tax, which is supposed to be used to repair infrastructure, will not be repealed, since that would be too 'radical.'

So essentially under this proposal, drivers would be charged and taxed out the ass to drive on roads which we have already paid for and which the fuel tax is supposed to be allotted for. As a small business owner in the transportation industry, I highly oppose such a plan. It would be a giant tax increase, disastrous to the very working man and small business owners who Trump appealed to during his campaign. Do not fall for Fascistic model of big corporations and government in cahoots. NO 'TRUMP TOLLS!'

'Libertarian' Reason magazine analysts think it's a great idea, (See their video below) but recall Pseudo-Libertarian REASON magazine also called Jenny McCarthy an 'ENEMY OF FREEDOM' for daring to question vaccines.

LibertyFight.com has reported extensively on this issue in the past, several GOP and Democrat Congress members have called for a user fee system (tolls) in addition to retaining and increasing the fuel tax charges we pay each time we fill up our tanks. [See also CEO, Skull & Bones Member, Urges Obama to Pass a 15-Cent-Per-Mile Fuel Tax Hike.] In Los Angeles, they have already begun turning freeways which we paid for into toll roads while continuing to charge us the fuel tax for maintenance of those very roads!! [See my 2012 article Carpool lanes in Los Angeles turned into toll roads: State takes federal cash and fleeces motorists, also featured on Infowars.com a and DavidIcke.com .]

They want to harm the working man and fleece us with fees while they continue to give literally trillions to foreign countries like Israel. Furthermore, these bastards never seem to care about the TRILLIONS of dollars which continuously disappear from the Pentagon budget. They don't even hold hearings on it!

Brilliant warning to US, thank you!

I hope he does not take that route, . I try not to be too negative but we need to keep the pressure on.

Beware Of Trump Tolls

Even I am not shocked at a candidate's activity (after spending lots of FRN's to attend 2 state GOP conventions on behalf of Ron Paul), but I am very pissed off if the Donald is supporting toll roads. I just give up supporting any seemingly decent candidate. Glad I'm getting old so don't have to tolerate much more of this sh**.

You're too kind...we're both old up here in Tx panhandle. No pensions, though. I wish I was one of my pet cats.

Was just reading writings of "journalists" prior to Obungle taking office.

Take a reading. Worlds Savior had arrived, land of milk and honey. Then take another look at Trump.

NO 'TRUMP TOLLS!'

Unless defense is cut in half to pay for transportation upgrades, have to go along with tolls if they are electronically calculated through plate recognition, etc., and gas tax hike rather than money coming from general taxpayer or borrowed. Thus following the principle that users pay.

A possible alternative is government takeover of the Fed; put money into circulation by paying road builders.

If Tramp, sorry Trump, spends any money on anything, it will be borrowed money and we, the tax payer not the 1%. will be paying for it forever. Then "We the People" will be taxed on top of tax and the 1% will write it off their taxes.
