Another one the indoctrination centers did a number on.

You'd think with all the folks they've bamboozled we could stop paying taxes after awhile but it never ends.

Problem with government run anything there is no incentive to keep costs down.. they just add more taxes to taxpayers.. they have a bottomless pit to draw money from .. us. They don't have to make a profit, they just give us the bill and they love to skim money off for themselves with pay for play. It used to be that government workers made less than private sector.. no more.. they enjoy all kinds of benefits , days off with pay, and make more than the average worker.

The American people pay for those roads with the taxes at the gas pumps when we fill up at the pump.. we built those roads with the construction guys who work for a living and pay more taxes to the government to build them.. government has no money other than our tax dollars.

Who funds the government? Ever think about that?

What the hell are you going on about? Can you not refute what I posted?

I just didn't want to drive any car with less than 15 inch wheels, and I didn't want mega sized cars to get them.

Yes. It was the people represented government that built those roads using tax dollars. That’s why we have those roads today. We all benefit from that. That’s why I will take big government over big Business any day of the week.

Are you saying that there would be cars, but no roads to drive them on if the govt didn't build them?

Think deeper.. Big business gives us shopping for almost everything we want and need.. We have gas stations, Malls, Supermarkets, service centers, specialty shops, eateries. We have the good life when the rich people invest in our neighborhoods. If they didn't we would have to grow our own food, travel to get anything, order from a catalogue and wait for it . No, big business is great. We live good because of it.
