Controversial opinion(s) 2

I don't believe nor support taxes but I do still pay them, however if I could get away with not doing it, I would. Before anyone freaks out, I do understand there must have been a reason. But at the same time I see things like unpaved roads, poorer schools not getting materials, more pot holes etc. it's obvious that a lot of our stuff is pick and choose where it should go.

I just feel like there's got to be a better way.

I also feel like I work hard for my money and I want all of it, there's no social security for me anymore and it's the end of 40 year job security so it's all pointless for me anyways.

The one thing I've never hated anyone on is not paying taxes. I do believe it's classified as white collar crime or something but honestly I don't care that much

So, I'm not going to say the taxation system is perfect, because that's bullshit. But at least hypothetically, that's exactly what taxes are supposed to go toward. It's literally supposed to be everybody pooling their money to pay for maintenance stuff.

@LordShadowfire the problem is more and more seems to be going into pockets of planers instead of pot holes in our roads . It’s great to plan but we need money to make it to the problems.

@LordShadowfire Things aren't really maintained though if it's not a rich area.

@Repete @SatanBurger Which is why we need tax reform laws. But you start telling the folks in charge that's what you want, and they pretend they didn't hear.

@LordShadowfire my mom use to call that , selective hearing, . I use to get a touch of that at times. Didn’t last to long, mom didn’t like repeating herself on things I should already know. 😂

@Repete Oh, yeah. If your ears don't work, moms have a solution for that, and it's the same as when my TV didn't work, lol.
