minus-squarePhoenixz@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35·3 days agoWhat have I ever gotten from paying my taxes? Except the roads of course, that goes without saying And okay, okay, police keeps order and makes it we have a lawful nation And sure, sure, firemen will always be there to protect my house from burning down but that’s nothing! And I had free education, but come on, isn’t that what you’d expect at the very least? Nothing! And okay, they did get me free healthcare too, fine, but that’s nothing Investments to promote local businesses? Fine… So aside from the roads, police, firemen, education, healthcare, investments, what have taxes ever done for me? Nothing! People like that feel like a Monty Python sketch
