I live near the Tappan Zee bridge. It was built in 1955, to last 50 years (until 2005). They never expected it to handle the amount of traffic it currently gets.

Would be nice to build a new bridge to replace it, before it falls down.

then why doesn't the Port Authority, or MTA, or your state issue bonds and do what is necessary?

Avoiding new debt with a .7% tax on millionaires sounds quite fiscally responsible.

if you believe constantly getting a free ride off of others is going to make you fiscally responsible, then you'll end up joining the Occupy movement protesting the fact that you put yourself into debt by making dumb choices.

The millionaires are the ones getting a free ride on the back of society.

The dumb choice we made that put us into such debt was the ridiculous tax-cutting for the wealthy that has been going on since Reagan.

check you facts - the top 1% pay an ever increasing share of the tax burden over the last 50 years
