What about highway construction? (Score 1)

Building roads is not a private function; taxes are extracted from you for those construction projects also. Then sometimes there are tolls. You have to buy, insure, and maintain the car, don't forget that. Oh, and with the highway thing you get five thousand or so violent deaths every month. Not sure on the exact figure there, but I think that's in the ballpark for American road kills every month. Boy, what a cool deal!
