Taxation and spending are like a massive BYOB party. Everyone brings, and everyone drinks, but it's bad form to look too closely at who brought what or or what they drink.
I agree with that for the most part, but if we want more communities to do like bike friendly communities such as Seattle do, to be willing to invest more than current demand requires for future generations, wouldn't it be wise to contribute to that expense in this era of budget cuts?
