You have to drive from Philly to Pittsburgh. How are you getting there? Philly to Allentown? Or Lehighton...how are you getting there? Private helicopter?

US-22 to US-322. If you can't afford the turnpike don't use it. Simple as that. No one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use it.

You're paying for convenience. If you can't afford it take the long route. No one's forcing you to use it and you aren't owed a cheap superhighway.

So if PA were to tax you more than 2x the next closest state, you'd move right? Bc no one is forcing you to live here.

If you can't afford it, don't use it. I don't complain that I can't afford a Ferrari.
