A generic attack on politicians is orthogonal the main argument, by your logic, taken to its conclusion is that the government shouldn't be funded.

The opposing logic, taken to its conclusion, would mean that government should get all of your money. Yeah, now we're back where we started. Nobody is saying the government should be de-funded. This is a red-herring.

No where did I say that. But the argument that the tax should be repealed because the city won't spend it well is not germane to the discussion.
