[meme] I'm tired of these tax-and-spend conservatives forcing me to subsidize their lifestyles

I live in a 'communist' city.

Most people here are driving huge honkin' SUVs and are screaming about the lack of street parking, even though they have driveways.

The entitlement is pure insanity, and this is from so called leftist liberals. The same ones who support BLM, but viciously oppose any new development, especially anything that with affordable housing units.

Truth is a lot of lefties become conservatives when they the issues affect them.

i'm only ok with subsidizing world war 3, not the lifesytles of the people that get my goat

They tax and keep. They don’t spend. They keep it…all.

We’ll still need the roads & streets, repairs/repaves, traffic lights, and snow plows even if 95% of us switch to bikes, e-mopeds, and trains…

In a hypothetical 2050 America that has embraced walkable neighborhoods and biking M-F and only using cars to visit friends in a different city, the roads & streets will still be being worn out at nearly the same rate by the elements and heavy delivery, construction, and emergency vehicles.

Because the road-quality bar for driveability is a often noticeably lower than the bar for bikeability, many/most municipalities with actual bike users on the board may vote for higher quality road construction, which likely would raise labor and/or material costs and likely balancing out to the same 20 year costs despite maybe going an extra year or two between repaves due to significantly less civilian 3,000-8,000lbs commuter vehicle use.
