 Everyone should keep 100% of what they earn and spend it how they please. There were roads and bridges and infrastructure before mass taxation. People spending their money as needed would fix all of these issues. 

I see small towns with multi million dollar fire stations, half a dozen million dollar trucks and multiple ambulances, and I think, would the community fund all of that voluntarily? It is ever all necessary? I really think it’s not in 99.99% of jurisdictions.
