Nobody's saying highways should be free, but you're ignoring the fact that your federal tax dollars are supposed to be paying for the interstate highways, and the ad valorem tax, license plate fees, gas taxes and myriad of other vehicular fees you get hit with are supposed to pay for the local roads. 400 in particular was a dick move. They pitched a highway and said they'd fund it by making it a toll road, to be revoked once it paid for itself. It wasn't. Traffic backed up for miles so they could continue to collect a measly $.50 out of scope for years.
