The Swiss tax most income at 22%. They provide basic health insurance (insurance companies are not allowed to make a profit on the basic level but can on higher end plans) for everyone in the country that does not exceed 8% of their income. They have the best roads in the world even though the geography makes those roads cost more than roads in other parts of the world. The entire country is CLEAN.
Our taxes run about 32% for someone making 90k (the average Swiss income). We have the highest insurance cost and the highest medical care cost and some of the worst roads anywhere. And only the rich areas of the country are clean. 8% of most people's income won't touch even the crappiest health care plan.
While we are taxed at a much higher rate than countries who get it right - my lawmakers can kiss my rear if they want another tax. Cut costs.

Stop payments and kick them out of government housing after 6 months. And housing should not be like Rosedale Courts here in Tuscaloosa. Freaking granite counter tops, stainless appliances and hardwood floors. Let it be polished concrete and a blow up mattress on the floor. There has to be an incentive to better yourself. If they give you everything you need you will never try harder.
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

Where do you guys want the money to come from for capital improvements? Reduce the waste and senseless spending in other areas.

I would be in favor of a 2-3 cent county wide gas tax which would phase out over an established time frame. Taxes never phase out, they grow.

Republicans and Democrats LOVE big gov't and more taxes. They just want it to be THEIR big gov't and THEIR taxes.

Where do you guys want the money to come from for capital improvements? From the amount we are already taxed.

Once they get a tax on the books, it never goes away and becomes higher and higher. A little here, a little there so you don't notice it. Or, you think, oh it is just a couple of dollars a week. It's like the frog in the pot of hot water. Turn up the temp just a little and the frog doesn't notice. Turn it up a little more and he doesn't notice. Before long he's poached before it turns into a roiling boil. Not to veer off into horse-beating territory, but the small tax increases that add up are similar to the game-fish laws/regs in each state OR the piecemeal elimination of hunting-fishing seasons/zones/opportunities. A little here, a little there, add one or two more "I don't mind, it's not that bad" laws or remove the ability to trap or hunt in this zone - and then another zone, and then half a state, and then it's gone. The anti-hunters are doing the latter quite successfully in some states. And it's because, in many cases, the mentality of "Oh, I don't mind. It's just a little bit of an increase." or the "Eh, that doesn't bother me. I'm not a trapper and I don't hunt in that area anyway."

I'd be all for funding projects like the one described but for at least partial funding I'd drug test ALL people on government assistance and pool the money from all those checks that didn't go out and use it for projects in that county. Those that failed the test would either find a job or starve. If they find a job, they pay taxes into the system so that part is a win/win.
Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.
