Toll roads (Houston, Austin, Georgetown: bankrupt, taxation, live in)

Re: austin97

Okay then, I stand corrected. There is nothing wrong with the system. It's my flawed personality. And the global uprising, rioting and occupying is just a coincidence. Everything is fine.

Just remember that when some "Bureau" calls you out of the blue just before Xmas and says you owe them $1,100.00 because you drove on their road three years ago.

In the 3 years you could have just put some money into a CD and maybe have it paid off by now.

Surprised you didn't change your contact number.

Sigh. Toll roads are the opposite of taxation. You only pay if you use it, which is the exact opposite of normal roads where your TAX dollars pay whether you set tire on them or not.

Aren't you done ranting yet?

I will leave you now to your bending Moderator cut: orphaned

I will leave you now to your bending over fantasies.

Thank you for pointing out what may be incredibly obvious to your High School buddies however, those of us that do not live at home and travel for a living the toll is indeed a tax.

Before you were born many things were taken for granted including TV, highways and full service gas stations. We are even bagging our own shopping items now and yes, that is a Tax!

Bend Moderator cut: see comment Jay. Uncle Sam wants you! LOL

It's not a tax if you can CHOOSE not to take them, which you can.

I am sorry you live in a fantasy land where you think that TV over the airwaves and highways were all "complimentary". They weren't.

This is going to surprise you because, old as you are, you don't have any idea how the world around you functions..BUT ANYTHING THE GOVERNMENT DOES IS NOT FREE. Everything in this country provided by the government since 1776 was paid for with your taxes. That includes "free" TV and highways. The fact that you do not understand these things, yet will whine about them incesstantly, is like the perfect snapshot of American society. A lot of really loud uninformed people whining about things they don't understand, it makes me sad for this country.

Also, the internet you are typing on is not a series of tubes. And the earth revolves around the sun. I am sorry to drop all these new fangled ideas on your head. Hopefully you can handle them all without having a stroke.

This is a joke post, right? Please tell me this is a joke.

I'm skimming over the hate mail posts. I have recently been told there are misdemeanor charges pending. So, it's okay for them to turn a $1.85 toll into $62.00? That is immoral and should be illegal. Again, I never received a bill. Who is the criminal here?

Read below, they are not interested in the tolls. They want the late fees. The equally corrupt PD will back them up.


"For those of you who feel you are so much better than this woman and are bashing her; step off. You damned well this isn’t fair and if you were in the same situation you’d be complaining too. But then again, maybe ya’ll work for these corrupt people."

Now I'm done with my "rant"

Oh, it's a racket, for sure. I wonder if the MSB will end up being sued as well. The last time I temped there, they wouldn't give me my own password for the computer that I was using (like they had the previous two times), but instead had me use another employee's password - she did not like this at all, but apparently she didn't have any say. The computer was set to lock up if I didn't touch it for 5 minutes, so I kept having to go get the employee to come unlock it because she didn't want me to have her password. Each time she came over, she got progressively more passive-aggressive, to the point where she was slamming the keyboard around and banging on the keys. Finally, I was given her password so she wouldn't have to keep coming over, but I'd had it by that point. I went out to lunch and called the temp agency to tell them I wasn't coming back and to never place me there again.
