This is the blood boiling issue for me. We acknowledge that government can't manage money but we are willing to give em more of our hard earned income to try and bail them out? If my child is irresponsible with something I don't give her more. I take it away.
The only road ways the federal government is responsible for is the interstate system. Other than that it is the states responsibility to maintain all other roads. |
Actually you're saying the same thing I am. I'm saying that in concept, paying gas taxes wouldn't be bad IF all the money got to where it was supposed to, but the fact is it doesn't, which is why I'm against taxes. So we're on the same page there. Cheers!
