where does funding comes from to maintains our roads
Gas tax
Federal income tax
Tolls
Registration fees
Probably 2-7 other taxes
schools
Given the state of schools, not funding them is almost a benefit of itself, but there are other methods to fund them than property taxes. Look back at 19th century school funding mechanisms.
emergency services
Some fire departments were private into the 1970’s and beyond. Police and fire were both performed by local volunteer militias, akin to how the Cajun Navy is so effective after hurricanes. God bless them!
I HIGHLY recommend looking into these things… being ignorant of them is part of how we got here.
