Yes, why should we have to pay for anything at all...anywhere. Our government is trying that out I guess...we'll see how it works.

Because they choose to charge? And we choose to stay there knowing that they do? Capitalism? Choice?

Get real folks. Vote with your dollars and don't stay there if you don't like the charges but really...don't complain about it and act like you have been so wronged.
