Calling it a "tax" is hilarious, but shows us the way of ignorance that's
leading the US down into the world if third word ignorance and superstition.

In any case, I need a couple of million to retire right away, and that
tax I pay for Mega-millions tickets is just ridiculous. I should be able to
get them for free.

But aren't the FDR and Westside Highway exempt from congestion pricing?
That was part of the plan at one time.

Ah -- the answer here: if he's 14 and disabled -- physically or mentally
(obviously the case if he can't use public transit from the airport on his
own) the congestion pricing plan would have offered you an exemption --
which makes the rest of this moot.
