To be fair, it wasn’t the attitude that destroyed the infrastructure. Despite people’s attitude toward taxes, they still paid. The problem is precisely that they don’t like where that money is going. In most cases, their taxes are just funding a trust fund baby’s extra paycheck while they sit in office and neglect their duties while discussing divisive politics to distract from the fact that they are robbing the American people. A lot of people aren’t against the idea of paying taxes, but rather America’s inability to appropriately spend money on the common good.
