More money that the government would use wrongly, anyways!
You are absolutely correct. They’d raise more tax money and spend it on nonsense.
“More money that the government would use wrongly, anyways!”
If the money went 100% to well-managed maintenance and improvement, I wouldn’t have a problem with it. Chances of that actually happening, as opposed for funding of public bicycles, endless studies for light rail, bus subsidies, “greenspaces”, and so on: approximately 0.0000000000%.
