Private roads + trucks = passing on the toll cost to the purchasers of the item being transported
Private roads + private cars = reduced tourism
Private roads + income generated from traffic for repairs + safety concerns = widely varying quality of roads and accessibility to regions, even by emergency vehicles, due to quality issues
Private roads + employees in private cars = increased business costs + less mobility among job seekers
Private roads + traffic = long lines of people stopping to pay the tolls
There are all kinds of reasons we don't have more toll roads.

Was your wife's school Catholic? If it was, you can write off the cost of payroll right there. It's easy to get inexpensive schooling if you don't have to pay the professionals.
