The problematic realization is that as we all get taxed at higher rates than every we're continually met with political and police leadership constantly acting overwhelmed and out of options in enforcing the very same laws they diligently enforce on those of us who can afford to pay the fines. Out neighborhoods are less safe now, but we pay for protection that only works against us. In many states the speed limits are being lowered well below reasonable levels and speed cameras are deployed to opportunistically capitalize on citizens, rather than deploying officers on streets to monitor for other offenses that go unchecked... The worst part still being that we're paying outrageously high income and other taxes. Eventually people will start to ask what the purpose of high taxes are for, and why becoming a police officer is more and more of a desk job than being on streets.
