You are making a very big assumption here - that paying taxes guarantees you these things. I assure you, it does not.
In fact, I believe that public services and the amount of tax you pay have been out of sync for a very long time - that is, that it is quite possible to pay a lot of tax and get none (or only a few) of those services.
- solidsnack9000 7y agoI am not saying it guarantees those things and that guarantee is not relevant to my argument at all. They have to be paid for, they aren’t free. It is definitely possible to pay a lot of tax and get nothing and that is something to be opposed. America’s existence is testament to the resentment that unjust taxation evokes.
