You're right, the toll roads should be collected by the government, and the amount collected should be based on income so it's not regressive.

Also, they should be placed every 15 feet, so people stop driving altogether.

    People won't stop driving entirely. Some are legitimately afraid of rain, sun, wind, snow, etc . Placing the toll booths every 100m would go a long way to reducing traffic and reducing dangerous vehicle speeds.
