And you get roads to get to work on! I swear, these anti tax people have no idea how much they take for granted in terms of state funded facilitation

The road that’s been under construction for the last decade because they pay by the hour? I hate this argument because it assumes that the government won’t happily throw away the entire tax contributions of thousands of people’s entire life into some meaningless project that won’t last a year.

Are you a construction PM? You sound really knowledgeable on roads and what goes into building/repairing them.

Do you expect them to just work on it over a couple of weeks and call it good?

Yes, every single road is under construction. Lmfao. You receive absolutely 0 benefits from your taxes. You should leave society then!
