Should I draw guts with sword or without

I'm fine with paying taxes on sales and property, but don't take the money I earned directly from my goddamn paycheck

"Why does the government always listen to the rich"
"Well the rich are paying more to the government so really you are driving on roads paid for by the rich."

think of them as shareholders...

I'm fine with paying taxes if I have a say in how they're spent.

^

the problem is few can agree how to correctly spend taxes

"in fact, i believe the whole point for the rich paying more WAS so you can freeload and not pay for the road"

That's what Representatives that we elect are supposed to do

collectively

"that was YOUR idea"

i'm cool with streets and cops and water safety and shit

I got nearly a 6k bonus from work, and I ended up with a little more than 3k

-.-

of course my city fills its potholes

They're supposed to represent us and propose what our tax money be spent on

dominoes fills potholes

The lack of accountability to taxpayers is what makes usage fees for government services so superior.

actually, a lot of highways are paid for partly by companies. those highways that have the "Adopt a highway"

Yep

See it all the time

I thought that was for cleaning...

is cleaning not part of the operational cost of a highway?

our streets in Halifax are made with brownie, AND we pay up the ass in taxes

Along with tax money

My old hometown has potholes so bad they killed someone last year

das wut our roads are made of

oof

"I like having roads"
"I do too, too bad our taxes never go to actual roads"

^^^

"We need a gas tax *fast forward a year* we need super fancy toilets in all government buildings and paid 6 day weekends."
"we don't have the budget for that"
"raid the transportation fund"
"but how do we fix the roads"
"add tolls and a car tax"
