How do you get by without using roads?

Seriously this is a really dumb take. Fair share and value for money is a legitimate argument but if you live in the US unless you live off the grid and use nothing that has been in the stream of commerce you have derived some value from taxes. I doubt a single person living in the US can legitimately claim that.

Except roads bridges police fire national defense and stuff like that. But definitely not a good return on investment to say the least.

GTFOH, if you post on this board you have almost certainly lived through some of the greatest time to be alive in human history.

I'm the first to rail in the idiocy of income taxes, however, we've all received a pretty solid ROI all things considered.
