You know, if we weren’t paying all those taxes for *free* stuff for everyone else, we’d have enough money saved up on our own to pay for our own repairs. We’d be coming out the same in the end.
Not sure you would ‘come out the same in the end’. Your tax dollars could be invested and you might come out better in the end!
On another note, I never understand people who jump for joy when they ‘get their income tax check’ every year. They have basically given the government an interest free loan.
I’d rather get no money or owe money than get a check back for over-paying.
