Really? Where are the bake sales that fund the roads?
Cookie sales?
Lotteries?
Here is the simple reality - the US government exists because crybaby, can't-cut-it-any-other-way pseudo-Socialists are too big of pussies to shove a gun in someone's ribs themselves, so they vote to have government do it. Taxation as it exists today is straight-up theft because ALL of it comes at the end of a gun. Don't believe me? Stop paying ALL taxes. See how fast the guns come out. Want to see what you truly own, and what you do not? Stop paying taxes.
This is why pseudo-Socialists are so damn stupid. They actually believe THEY are going to be immune to this effect forever. Ask Venezuela how that worked for them. Even here in the USA, eventually more people are going to climb in the wagon than are pushing or pulling it. Everything that happens after that point is perfectly predictable to everyone who isn't stupid.
Socialism has a track record of failure so complete only liberals or academics can't comprehend it.
