Carol, dear Carol, be healed! Tolls were originally used to pay for the road..(except the new super highway running from Mexico to Canada, Spain will get those monies) Libraries or funded by tax dollars, and private donations. Fire and police by state property taxes, parks by local taxes, user fees, lottery revenues, and donations, (unless it is a federal park). The founding fathers, collected their revenues, at that time, on tariffs(there was no income tax at that time. Postal service by stamps, and so on. The founding fathers were not socialists in the least, rather, the constitution was drafted to keep the central government limited, and out of the way of the freedoms fought and died for, to break from England, who indeed, taxed the colonies and interfered with their lives. The slogan used during the revolutionary war was, 'No taxation without representation'. Now, in light of all the taxes we pay, do you feel you are being truly represented????????? Anybody??????
