What do you think we pay taxes for anyway? Last I heard, repair and maintenance of the roads was one of the things municipalities were responsible for.
We pay taxes to the fed to cover the interest that the government owes for borrowing money.
Well I don't see how you could sit there and judge the roads without personally going out and helping. You work, extensively, but you do not have an idea what it is like to be out there in 110F weather and having to fix a small stretch of road that isn't frequented as often as some other streets.
But why don't you go and volunteer? You know they will train you. What is the
REAL reason?
