Funding roads (taxes, user fees etc)

I agree somewhat.  While service standards shouldn't be tied to a person's income, I do feel the pain of a daily commuter who crosses the border.

What does bother me are the airport security "Fast Path" lines.  While a NEXUS cardholder has enhanced screening that I could see them having quicker access, certain Platinum credit cardholders doesn't receive any background checks done, but they get the same line by-pass features.

Its all about the $$$.  No different than those at amusement parks who are willing to pay twice the admission fee don't have to stand in lines.
