How many hundreds and hundreds of times have you heard a leftist, after being told that a right-wing person supports smaller government, immediately says "So you are against roads? Without government, there would be no roads!".
Although historically this isn't true, that doesn't seem to matter to leftist.
Well I just stumbled upon a small story out of the BBC.
BBC News - Entrepreneur makes £150,000 toll road to avoid diversion
The summery is this.... A431 Kenton Road in England, which is between the city of Bath and Bristol, closed. The road was built on unsettled ground, and began to break up.
The detour makes an 8 minute drive, into a hour plus drive.
A private Entrepreneur, spent $250 to open his own road, with a toll both. Now people can get to between the two, in 15 minutes.
Wait.... I thought without Government, we'd never have any roads?
The reason we don't have privately built roads more, is because government is willing to pay for them. Why spend the money to build roads, when you can have poor tax payers fund it for you?
Another myth proven false.... again...
