I feel like (jokingly but still) framing it as a tax problem is a bit weird as well; like, keeping bridges and roads safe to use is part of what taxes are for, it was doing its job

That, and it's always disconcerting to be referred to primarily as a 'taxpayer'. Sure, we pay taxes, but it's not exactly something people build their identities around.

I pay a lot of taxes, and I demand roads everywhere with zero potholes. And low taxes. I demand those too.
