Why did the government repair Cherry Street?
Comedian and libertarian, Drew Carey, as a fantastic series of videos on the Reason Magazine website. I'll be posting links to a few of them.
The first deals with road construction. It discusses the notion of privately-built and maintained toll roads. Most liberals view this idea with disdain- roads are supposed to be for everyone!
Ah, that's where they're wrong.
The roads Carey proposes run right alongside- or above, below, or between the lanes of- government roads. The government roads remain gridlocked while the toll road's traffic moves along at a steady pace.
HERE is the video. I recommend you watch it.
