The road to our house was awful and in disrepair. The plowing was decent, I'll give them that. I know your answer: we need yet more taxes. It couldn't be that these taxes enable all sorts of non-essential and wasteful programs, while what's truly essential gets neglected. Do we really need all those cops setting up speed traps and fleecing drivers? Or all the cops looking to catch someone growing a plant on their property? That's the only time the police ever came to our property, to look for suspicious plants. Would people really pay for that or consider that an essential service if they weren't forced?
- wedn3sday 8y agoYou like having phone lines right? and power? and not being invaded by canada? The reason you've never needed to have police on your property is in large part because they're doing a good job and keeping crime down. Yes, the government is giant and stupid at allocating resources, but its also fairly stable and allows you to live your life in peace (with the occasional inspection for naughty plants).
