Some people are not grateful for the roads that government build, like critics of suburban development, enemies of car culture, etc.

- thematt 15y agoPlease stop promoting this nonsense that our current level of taxation is needed because of infrastructure needs. Transportation accounts for a measly 4% of the federal budget. Most of our tax dollars go towards military and paying for the old people in society, both of which are politically-charged budget items that politicians refuse to address. http://www.investorguide.com/taxtrackr/ http://www.investorguide.com/taxtrackr/
- lurker19 15y agoLowering taxes does not stop the military. Spending is one side, taxing is the other. Bills that run up must be paid, or war fought over them. The solution to overspending is to find a way to stop the spending. Regarding old people, as a group they worked pretty hard to build the modern world and its conveniences and efficiencies that we enjoy, so I don't mind paying them dividends.
