Funding roads (taxes, user fees etc)
#77
So it comes down to ‘if I don’t use it why should I pay for it’! With that thinking then I shouldn’t have to pay for transit as I don’t use it. I shouldn’t have to pay for public education since I don’t have children in school. I should contribute less to healthcare because I don’t smoke, I exercise regularly and am generally in good health. I could go on and on. I don’t mind paying for all of these services and others equally even if I personally may not be benefitting from them if it benefits society as a whole.
