Like I said, I don't actually care how rational it all might be in economic terms. I'm not willing to allow rich people to pay for more privileges than they already have, even if we might all be better off as a result. They have too many privileges already. So, exactly as ZeroGravitas was saying, it's clear that my reaction is really about inequality and not about highway congestion management. Fix the inequality problem and I'd probably start feeling more OK about tolling proposals.
