There are some peculiar branches of libertarian thinkers (Stephen Molyneux being a prime example) that think nothing should be government/tax funded, up to and including e.g. roads. He reasons private companies should build them, and make them all toll roads, or find some other way to recoup the costs.
they experimentated that in a small town, they abandoned it when they couldnt afford the roads, trash cleanups,etc. and then another one was they ran out by black bears.
One of the rallying cries of the Republican party that persuaded so many over the decades has always been fiscal responsibility and tax cuts. They have spent decades persuading voters that paying taxes is a terrible thing. They have claimed that bureaucracy is slow and wasteful. That the taxes people paid have been misappropriated. They have corrupted one of the most important things that a citizen can do for its nation. Pay taxes.
Paying taxes should be seen as a prideful act. This small action provides us with innumerable benefits that every single one of us benefits from.
The voting public has been lied to in an attempt to convince them they don’t receive anything from the taxes they pay. This, as most people should recognize, is a falsehood. From the roads we drive on, the water we drink, and the sewage that gets washed away to the security net that allows millions of Americans to retire every year. Taxes are the foundation that has allowed us to become the strong and comfortable nation that we are.
Taxes are the reason we have such a strong military that many Republicans idolize (while many others denounce.) Taxes are the reason we almost every child in this country has at least a cursory education. Taxes are the reason so many can pursue the careers that keep us safe and healthy, like every single doctor, nurse, and everyone else that helps and support them. Taxes are the reason your community has playgrounds for your children. Taxes are the reason so many farmers even have an income at all.
they been brainwashed that tax cuts to corporations are the only one that matters, because it will give them jobs. i visited r/con early on in his 1st term, it was funny how they mentally gymanstically justify it.
and that the middleclass- well off people not rich think they are getting a deal by having no income taxes in states like nevada, so some moved there and it turns out it has shit education and medical facilities,or none at all(i once followed a poc youtuber that did this) and next to no cultural community according to your race. oh at the same time railing on california, because of its “woke” policies, but your business depends on californias going to your stupid channel.
Crazy, but true. No he didnt want anything well funded.
That’s what he says… But does he drive on public roads? Does he use bridges? Does his residence have access to clean water and a functioning sewer? Etc. etc.
My conservative former friend said he would never vote for any tax for any reason.

I hear you, but Stan was just a cheap-ass.

I totally agree with you. Im just sharing one ill-informed viewpoint i have seen personally.
That’s what he says… But does he drive on public roads? Does he use bridges? Does his residence have access to clean water and a functioning sewer? Etc. etc.
Absolutely he did. And he didnt want to pay for it and refused to vote for the taxes to support them.
He also bought an old truck that got 12 mpg and complained about gas prices from then on.
Conservatives are freeloaders. It’s what they don’t think social can’t work.
They know they wouldn’t contribute. They know they would exploit it.
So your friend is constantly lobbying for dismantling the MIC, imperialism, etc.? Or they just don’t want to pay for their violent privileges?
