I take it you're happy paying taxes for shit that doesn't benefit you, like useless school systems?

Paying taxes also makes sure that when I turn the tap on, there's drinking water coming out of it.

I don't think that's a bad use case for tax money.

Like the water in Flint? I’d prefer a private commercial service for that. At least you wouldn’t have to live with contaminated tap water for 5 years because of incompetent government run monopolies.

Third world countries like the US might handle drinking water quality somewhat different, I acknowledge that.

So maybe roads are somewhat easier to grasp. They are paid for by taxes and while you could outsource that to private parties, having to pay a bribe each kilometer seems rather complicated to me.

Wow much edgy
