I don't recall saying anything about feeling hard done by.
My point was that you are not.
If you are paying the cheapest price in the developed world for something; and you bitch and moan cause the price rises, to the point where its still the cheapest in the developed world, your being irrational.
Moreover, Michigan is years behind investing in its infrastructure. Catching up will require money.
Your complaints seem to suggest that you think Michigan should grow 'money trees' to pay for bridge and road repair, modern sewage and drinking water systems etc etc.
Back in the real world, the way governments pay for necessary investment is by raising taxes.
If you think privatization would solve your issue, Toronto has a privately owned [[leased) highway [[407).
A ten mile [[16km) drive will cost you $10.42 Cdn without a transponder.
Or just over $6 with; but you'll pay monthly fee of $3.75 for the transponder.
Can't afford that? No highway for you.
