Can Any Rightwinger Give Me A Solid Argument Why Private Industry Instead Of Government Should Run..

...our road system?

Already there is a big money in roads. If corporations run our road system, they can charge whatever they want. Seriously what good is having state of the art roads if poor people can't afford the most basic of transportation access?

Why would it not be better to create a system that ensures proper treatment for everyone? Sure it wouldn't be perfect, but if you take away profit as an incentive you are less likely to have corruption. Let's stop wasting billions a year on useless defense expenses and focus that money on socialized roads.

Here's a fun fact: Polls show 92% of Canadians prefer the Canadian road system over the US system.

What do you mean when you say "run our roads". Do you mean deciding where our roads should be built, or who will build the roads, or who will maintain the roads, or how the roads will be financed?

My goodness gracious. Because people built roads long before the concept of funding it came along. That's an aspect of Voluntaryism. People can volunteer to help the collective, instead of being forced to help the collective.

Here's a fun fact: This isn't Canada. 100% of Canadians are Canadian. Zero percent of them are American.

What a dumb thread.
