$2Trillion was talked bout this mornin on cspan for infrastructure roads bridges high speed rail mass transit airports. But they r not planning on paying 4 it with $$$ they already get they want new taxes and higher ones like a tax on how many miles u drive a vehicle One commercial truck pays approx $20,000 n taxes a year there r approx 3Million commercial trucks on the rd 2day that means the gov get approx $60B a year. We use approx 138.5 billion gallons of gasoline a year at an average of tax 48.1 per gallon the gov gets between $65.5 and $65.6Billion a year. These r just 2 of the taxes we as americans pay. My point 2 this article is stop using our taxes 2 do things it was not intended 4.
Nationally, there were a total of 510,497 popularly elected state and local officials in 1992. 2010 census report 308M let's say there r now 520,000 positions with an average cost 2 us of $75,000 each that is $38B a year. At 520,000 there is 1 elected position for every 592 people that's not including non elected positions fire, police, etc. That # 592 is men, ladies, and children. They are less than 1% of the American population. R u tired of less than 1% of the American people ruling u and spending ur hard earned $$$$ but my opinion is mine & should b policy if it is the will of the people, if it is not the will of the people it will not be. Over $3Billion spent last year for appointed positions n federal gov,(17828 Positions who make $180,000 or more) positions held consist of 80% doctors, 6% attorneys, 3% dentist, and 2% financial institution examiners.
Property taxes $12000 on 2 acres n herrin illinois and a $300,000 home. Same acreage same exact home after he sold the 1st built n cape girardeau missouri $4500. Washington state SE corner 5200 sq ft 400 acres 3 big barns $9500. 8 acres and a single wide trailer between johnston city illinois and west frankfort illinois $3300 nothing else on the land. Cairo illinois a town of about 3000 men women and children saved, but at what cost, damages r expected to b $4Billion when letting the town go would have cost much less. 3000 people is high but u will get the idea 3000x$100,000=$300Million that is much less than $4B.
