Am I the only person who knows that taxes are a good thing? Where do you think the government gets the money to pay the cops/fire/everything else we need in this modern world. Taxes. Where do schools get their fundng? Taxes. Tax makes the world go round.

 

Taxes are also where a lot of wastefull extravegant spending goes... and policies that are worse then wastefull and actually end up hurting the people who pay for them.  Like Ethanol Subsidies.

 

Most of the taxes we pay go to keeping the country moving in many ways. Know the streets with potholes? What pays to fix them? Etc etc. It is alot more you don't even think about.

I actually know where a lot of my money goes... and a lot of it goes to wasteful spending.  The potholes the police etc...

We vote on those seperatley via city levies.  Cut down the money and the government is forced to use it for responsible things.

 

 

Lets see if you think the police are a waste of money next time you are robbed at gun point. Lets see if fixing potholes are a waste of money when you fuck up your car. Lets see if hospitals are a waste of money when you gets hot during that robbery.(lots of hospitals get government aid too, did you know that? I bet not.) If you truly believe such things are useless, then you sir are fail. Move to africa and watch your women and children get raped because of the lack of police.

Who said they were wastes of money.

I'm saying a lot of what the government does spend it's money on are wastes.  Goofball.

For example layers opon layers of school administrators who do nothing.  Dozens and dozens of cops in suburbs who haven't had a recorded crime in decades vs cops in ares that actually need it.

Having 5 cops patrolling the local mall where the biggest crime lately is someone shouting penis is a waste of money.
