7 Let the free market decide that instead of the government. I say that because the government no longer serves the people. They will start a project expecting it to go into cost overruns. They don't even care if it ever gets finished because as long as that project is going they collect money and can look good in front of a camera.
However, if people put their own money into new rail, must like Musk did with the space program, then it will cost much, much, much less, it will be better quality and get build in less time. Even if they put a toll to use that road, it will be much less than the tax increase that always comes with these projects.
Don't be fooled by the Democrats when they tell you they only want to tax the rich. I looked at Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. It had a tax increase on everyone except for people who earned between $10,000 and $20,000 per year. I first wondered why that tax bracket was exempt. Then it dawned on me. It was so they could say that they did not increase taxes on the poor. It was all about optics."
When ever the Republicans propose a tax cut the Democrats issue an automatic prewritten response that the tax cut is only for the rich. Here is how the figure that. All income taxes or capital gains taxes (which is what the rich usually pay) is based on a percentage. If I earned $10,000 per year and you earned $1,000,000 per year and the cut was 3% (it changes based on income but fir this example it still works if the cut across the board is 3%).
3% of 10,000 is $300. 3% of 1,000,000 is $30,000. Well $30,000 is much more money than $300, therefore the tax cut is only for the rich because the poor only got $300.
It only makes things worse with our progressive income tax scam. The rich who pay income tax pay a higher percentage than the poor. That would mean that a 3% across the board tax cut would make the rich pay much less than just $30,000. They would get $500,000 if they were taxed at 50% on a million dollars.
The Democrats forced the progressive taxation scam on us and they take full advantage of it. This means any tax cut, even if it was a progressive tax cut, meaning the rich got less of a tax cut than the poor, could still be spun as a tax cut for the rich.
Taxation is theft. We were not taxed on income until 1913 when Woodrow Wilson forced that on us.
This nation was not built around the idea of the government being a burden on the citizens but that changed and it is wrong.
