Reply to comment by dtcstylez10 in Pennsylvania Senate passes bill to cut state gas tax by wildfireonvenus

The thing about toll roads in PA is that you don't have to use them if you don't want to.

You have to drive from Philly to Pittsburgh. How are you getting there? Philly to Allentown? Or Lehighton...how are you getting there? Private helicopter?

US-22 to US-322. If you can't afford the turnpike don't use it. Simple as that. No one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use it.

You're paying for convenience. If you can't afford it take the long route. No one's forcing you to use it and you aren't owed a cheap superhighway.

So if PA were to tax you more than 2x the next closest state, you'd move right? Bc no one is forcing you to live here.

If you can't afford it, don't use it. I don't complain that I can't afford a Ferrari.

Nobody owes you a free superhighway to make your poor life choices easier to bear.

Lmao i didn’t say I couldn’t afford it, but I already pay more than my fair share in taxes why should I have to pay even more for roads that should be paid for by my taxes?
