How do you pay cops, and firemen if you use them? How do you fix public roads, sewers, etc? If there is nothing to pay for, then don’t tax me.
Capitalism.. make them private for profit enterprises.. bid out..
Those that can not be made volunteer.. like firefighters and cops should be..
-OR- a few professionals but mostly volunteers.. maybe a few bid out projects as well..
There are many revenue options VERY unexplored..
Revenue needed ONLY when all other options have been tried..
The first question... Is this a project that should be even handled by Federal State or local government..?.
It Should BE HARD to get a gov’t project started NOT EASY...
Once started each project should have time limits which needs to be renewed or re-certificated..
NEVER over two or three fiscal years..
Coming from one of the highest-taxed states, I certainly agree with you in principle. I just don’t see people repairing their own roads.
