Where TF Does Our Tax Money Go?
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
Federally we all know but locally, WTF? I, unfortunately, live in a NY (upstate) and my property taxes alone are 13k/year for town+school. Roads and bridges are crumbling with no projects in sight. Audits needed at local levels. We're being fleeced on all fronts. Near zero is being spent on infrastructure and it's been this way for nearly a decade. So where's it all going?
It's a circle jerk. The money comes back and gets passed out again and again to the same lot of people.
I'm in NJ. Property taxes are about 10k
We have the worst roads in the country.
And we have constant road construction. By highly paid Union outfits who are basically guaranteed the work.
Unions vote which way?
We have a highway job that was supposed to be done in 10 years{which is ridiculous to begin with}. The estimate now is an additional 10 years.
It'll be over 20 years of taxpayer dollars to basically fund a fucking circle jerk.
Then add in the tolls which are egregious statewide. And I'm talking intrastate highways.
Oh, don't forget the gas tax!
