    it depends. also, many roads are also financed by gas taxes, not income taxes which is what we are talking about here. same with tolls, aka use taxes.

    varies by state but many states have special funds from specific taxes for roads. For the most part we are discussing income taxes. I assume you think our governments spends that money wisely???

    MIS you have NEVER come close to even drawing even with me in any debate we have. So shut the F up. And call the police on your neighbor again. Taxes !!

    Never met-up for our public debate on the AC boardwalk, huh? Cause you'll never beat me. Never.

    I'm not just talking aboot income taxes that were created by Prohibitionists. Ain't talking aboot income taxes as David Lee once said.

    I'm talking aboot taxes in general. Like, these anti-tax dudes are cool with sales tax but not income taxes?? Nah, they hate them all.

    Ok, wasteful spending...

    The DEA. A completely useless organization that accomplishes NOTHING.

    I guess I'm wrong, taxes don't pay for roads. We're halfway to utopia already!

    DO you guys know that an alcohol tax is what payed for stuff in the olden days...

    No income tax existed...

    then some damn ugly women started the prohibition movement...and they eventually won(see MIS what can happen for people who just don't TALK aboot stuff but actually DO something aboot it)

    So Boom. They initiated the Income Tax....

    See, drugs have always been there to help you guys.

    Abolish The DEA. Get them transferred to an agency to fight Muslims and Russians, and cyber crime.

    So, sounds like some of you guys are just fine with the current tax system? I personally do not care to pay one red cent more in taxes.

    Gov'ts from little town USA all the way to federal level mismanage our tax revenues...it makes me sick.

    I ain't no right wing nut jog either...but if I ran my house like most gov'ts, things would spiral out of control, which may be what is happening as we speak (usa). F more taxes.

    OK...I am done. Saw this thread after stroking a check to uncle sam a little while ago. Vent over.

    Like HELL they do!!!

    The F-ing gov't is out of control HUMONGOUS.

    Half of it could shut down this very moment and the onliest people who would care are the gov't employees who would have to go work real jobs.

    F Taxes until the gov't gets back down to its intended size. Keep me safe from foreign invasion, and maintain the interstate highway system. Leave the rest to the states.

    F Taxes.

    Did I mention F Taxes?

    Oh yeah one more thing, F Taxes.

    :mad:

    Just saying something doesn't make it fact. It would be nice if any of you people backed up the talk with a little data.

    Basically a quarter of your federal income taxes goes towards defense. There is less than a half a percent devoted to community development, but I doubt much of that goes towards the roads. Scroll down a little further, and you will see that generally 5% of state and local taxes goes towards transportation (roadways). I am sorry, tolls do not pay for more than the toll road itself. In SC, there are no toll roads, thus no money from tolls. Much of our road funding comes from gasoline tax, local tax, and state tax.
    BTW, even combined with gasoline taxes, tolls do not pay for more that a third of the roadway expenses on average in the states.

    As for taxes, yes they suck, but we have it pretty good in this country (and even more so in the southern states). The feds are wasteful, but the fact that our country can't stay out of wars doesn't seem to be helping anything.

    OMG, if you didn't pay taxes you'd pay a lot more for privatized services of things you take for granted everyday that the gov provides with your tax contributions.

    Then frickin move to some tax-less country. Bring your assault rifles, too. You may need them.

    Jeesh.
