well now here's an area I am very familiar with. I reside in one town and own a business in the adjacent town. the town where my business is located utilizes a nationally known waste service removal contractor and I pay nearly double the fee directly to this outfit for terrible service. I have dragged them before a magistrate on several occassions, prevailed with my complaint not paid for the services, collected my attorney's fees and they keep performing badly!!! the town where my business was located before collected the refuse themselves in a timely fashion for 40% less money. the town I live in has even picked up garbage the day after a hurricane. in the aftermath of the hurricane they collected whatever was placed curbside for months, no restrictions. the town where my business is located had to sub contract the county to help out because the contractor refused to collect hurricane debris.
you guys have been arguing with me about about paying basic taxes. the impression I get is you guys are completely against any form of taxation.
my argument is that
1. we are not overly or unfairly taxed and we are taxed with representation. even the federal income tax was approved by voters of the period. the income tax is not an illegal tax.
2. no one, even the gubmint can place an exact figure on just what the exact amount of tax needs to be.
I am against any and all tax increases and always vote against them, the citizens here generally approve tax increases almost every election cycle. this is how our gubmint runs, it works better than anyone else's in the world. I agree though, it's still flawed and needs tweaking.
