Why if you say you want lower taxes, you get questions about not wanting police, roads , etc?

Don't people think that if the government just provided what it was initially supposed to provide we could all get a tax break?

    Roads, police, and fire protection are basic services. FAFSA, Dept of Ed, and countless other govt programs are not. You are right if govt did the job the founding fathers intended we would not be in debt.

    The Federal Government doesn't build roads or provide police.

    While the federal gas tax, does provide States some money for Interste and highways

    Most Road funding comes from the States and counties.

    Police funding comes from cities and towns.

So yeah get waiting you would be taxed. The why is exceptionally obtrusive taxes keep the rustic going. The whilst is on the spot. precise out of your first verify lol. Now the best section is you would be eligable for a tax refund federal and state come economic 365 days end. to no longer burst your bubble yet do no longer assume state to offer lots lower back. yet your federal return would be good in comparison on your pay in. Now Social protection and such you is in basic terms no longer reimbursed for. this is going to take the main important factor of what's taxed on your verify. yet do no longer hardship too lots approximately those issues generaly with slightly time interest at a retail keep your taxes is in basic terms no longer authentic extreme.

    Taxes are what pay for road, police, medicaid, etc. Lower taxes, reduce benefits.

    entitlements by all estimates will exceed THE ENTIRE FEDERAL BUDGET by 2046. and medicare alone will exceed 21% of the federal budget by 2011

    but you want roads and fireman dont you... even though state and property taxes pay for roads and fireman..... oh and your selfish or unpatriotic if you dont want higher taxas. (obama and biden told me.)

    Government needs to be more efficient, and people collecting entitlements could do more to help their country than they are.

    You mean like backing off welfare? And tax 'credits' to those who have no tax liability (oh, wait, that's a form of welfare)!
