They say we pay taxes so we can maintain roads.

If a buckets of tar were distributed to every household so we can fix our own potholes at our discretion and in turn we pay less taxes, would you vote for that guy?

I like the lower taxes, but it takes more than a bucket of tar to fix/repair the state route Infront of my farm.

@WillaKissing if we were given the means to repair our own infrastructure instead of paying taxes, would you do it.

@GuyWithOpinions To a point we would depending upon your age and distance of road you would be responsible to pave. Under your idea I would have to pave close to 5 tenths of a mile of road that boarders my farm, and I rather my taxes paid for that.

No. In fact, it would almost certainly make me vote for his opponent.
You also should be able to upgrade to walkable cities and green transport. But hate life abundantly and have no energy for actually working.

Ummm...you should read up on how those patches are supposed to be made.

I have only ever seen a patch being done properly once, and that was in a strip mall.

You mean like working on a bridge in Baltimore harbor, 185 feet over the Patapsco River and its ice cold water at 1:30 in the morning?

No money for illegals until every road is fixed and every veteran is taken care of.
No, because you don't repair a road with tar.

@SomeMichGuy the point is, if we were all given the knowledge and equipment to repair our own infrastructure rather than pay taxes would you accept that
@GuyWithOpinions As I previously said, I have only ever seen a patch of an asphalt roadway done properly once.

Knowing how lazy people are, I think we'd have only slightly better roads.
Tar itself doesn't do shit, it needs to be asphalt, tar with small rocks to give it structure.

@GuyWithOpinions I'm on assisted oxygen 24/7, I don't think I am able to do it myself anymore.

@MarmeeMarch It's pretty cool to watch those machines chew up roads.
