I don't understand the reasoning for the author's conclusion:
"I think no amount of bandaging with higher tax rates or user fees is going to be a long-term solution. ... With any luck, we can use a Strong Towns-inspired analysis to back up these sentiments with hard-hitting fiscal facts."
Why isn't taxing an acceptable solution?
- jkmcf 6y agoDepending on your area, new taxes are hard to implement and new taxes on old infrastructure would cause a riot. It’s well known that our water infrastructure is woefully underfunded, not to mention the plethora of bridges needing important maintenance. These issues aren’t being addressed because of the legions of anti tax, pro free stuff Americans. We’ve had it so good for 70 years no one ole at to accept that “great again” will require a lot of taxes or money from trees.
