Yeah I'm sure you would be very happy to get services that exclusively other people are paying for. Who wouldn't? How about a broad tax increase on the middle class and above which would actually generate the revenue necessary to pay for these types of projects sustainably? Funny how when that gets suggested, support for public spending tends to evaporate.
- Apocryphon 6y agoI am okay with a broad tax increase on the middle class and above which would actually generate the revenue necessary to pay for these types of projects sustainably. I suspect the poster you're replying to would be as well.
- OminousWeapons 6y agoGreat, then we are all aligned. I am 100% in favor of building high quality public services as long as everyone is paying.
- Apocryphon 6y agoSuper, when are we repealing Prop 13?
- shakezula 6y agoYeah, I would absolutely be okay with this if it meant i could legitimately get rid of my vehicle, ride transit reliably, reduce my emissions. It would probably mean a net decrease in my expenses.
- Apocryphon 6y agoThe reduction in air pollution and traffic stress/accidents could possibly lead to subtle gains in public health and reduced strain on healthcare systems, as well!
