Highways are also heavily state subsidized.

Yep, that's part of why I think the analogy works.

Everything is heavily subsidized by socializing the losses and deflation of buying power for the average person.

Corporations demanding payment for everything at whatever margin they want is little different than taxation without representation and local cops shaking people down for money at random; just different legal semantics

		The representation is you yourself by voting with where your money goes. At least in a market with competition. Without competition you are talking about a monopoly and it is your government that is responsible for mitigating its effects. The government that you elected. The mechanisms are all there, they just need to be used+embraced.
