Aaaaah. I think I'm beginning to understand.
It isn't that you mind dipping into the tax trough for projects you feel are worthy, you just object to funding projects that don't interest you. If your ideas aren't embraced you just declare politicians "unscrupulous". You decide what projects benefit a broader segment of the population, too. Gee, Mr Green, I thought that was the responsibility of our elected officials not engineers. Are you running for office ?
No, I'm not running for office.
I'm simply a private citizen and taxpayer who is tired of being lied to by "elected officials" of both Republicrat factions.
Yes, I am very judgemental as to how that money is spent.
That is my right as a taxpayer.
Those "elected officials" are public servants, and I get quite ornery when the servants are looting the silver.
