To be clear, I don't think there should be a congestion tax in the first place. But flat prices are how everything else works in a free market, so it seems fair

To be clear, I don't think there should be a congestion tax in the first place. But flat prices are how everything else works in a free market, so it seems fairer than carve-outs or god-forbid, a progressive congestion tax.
Which sounds fairer to you: a movie theater that charges $5 for a ticket, or one that charges a percentage of your income?
- fzeroracer 8y agoRoads are not a free market and attempting to apply free market logic to roads is a flawed argument. People can choose whether or not to purchase a ticket. Many people cannot choose whether or not to drive. Which is why again, a flat tax would not be fair. How would it be fair to expect someone on minimum wage or disability to pay the same amount to access a required service as someone far better off?
