To both you and pvn: Not quite. He'll simply own the main access roads so you're forced to pay whatever he charges for his services. I'll repeat again. Finite property. Historical ownership. Same problems as the social contract.

What's the problem here? Obviously he wants to make some money, so he can't charge so much that people can't pay, or so much that people use other roads (businesses relocate somewhere with less exorbinant fees, taking all of the road custoemrs with them). And he's not going to own *all* the roads. What percentage of the roads in the US do you think Bill Gates could actually buy?

Yep, a bunch of "ZOMG bill gates is going to kill hobos in his spare time if there's no government" type arguments.
