There. It's not left or right, it's a society problem. Plenty of roads in socialist utopias across the pond are toll funded.

It’s still a right wing argument.
The right wing argument is everyone pays for themselves for whatever they want or need.
The left wing argument is society decides what people want/need and then pays for it.
So any I don’t use it so I don’t want to pay for it is a right wing argument and any we should collectively pay for things that are of collective benefit is a left argument. There is more nuance and steps but at a very high level it kinda works.
