Where do you live that your government requires you to pay for those specifically? Those all come out of general taxes. The closest equivalent would be gas taxes, but that only covers a portion of road costs.
- obmelvin 5y agoIsn't that what this discussion is about? The OP said that it costs the taxpayers $1. I don't know about this specific situation - but the claim does not seem to be about paying directly for things.

- mywittyname 5y agoI live in a place that charges taxes specifically earmarked for all of those items. We call them levies. Ostensibly, we vote on them, but some levies stay in place for 30 years. For example, a levy for a new police station that covers the mortgage for 30 years.
