The United States is not the only country in the world. Roads and schools are underfunded by choice. Mostly by small-government advocates who believe everything should be privately funded so taxes can be as low as possible. Other countries successfully fund their public schools and my country of the Netherlands has extremely well-maintained public roads. We pay more in taxes, but the benefits far outweigh the costs.
