        Feel sorry for the folks (like myself) trapped in the world of forever rising tolls, taxes, and fees. Middle class hell. A few more years before I can retire and escape.

        Gas tax yes. They get money from those who drive on the roads the most without slowing traffic for tolls

        Every driver using US roadways must contribute to their upkeep and necessary expansion. Consumption Taxes are the fairest way to do this.

        This is why CT is going broke. Keep raising taxes and everyone will leave this state and the govt officials will be the only people left with jobs but they wont get paid because evryone moved out. CUT SPENDING and make the tough choices to get this state back on track.

        Another reason why people are fleeing this state, also consistently ranks towards the bottom in the yearly CNBC survey on best states for business.
