When the federal government takes our money for any reason, that not only hurts the private economy, it starves the city and state governments where the real infrastructure work - water resources, streets, highways, lighting, sewage systems, etc - is funded. The federal government is suffocating us. Please don't encourage them to take more. I agree that our infrastructure needs upgrading, but I don’t want to send my money to Washington to pay that bill.
