admit it you faggot retards, you have no problem spending money for services when the services are good.
your problem isn't governance in general. in 1776, the war didn't continue after they installed a better government. your problem is not taxation, it's only the current government and the current set of services.
Colonists built cobble stone streets that still exist and they ride shitty. What’s your point faggot?
Isaac Murphy
Rome had very low taxes in its prime and actually paid them back.
Joshua Evans
Its called capitalism. Roads need to damage so repair jobs can be created, commie fag.
Jace Lopez
Did Roman roads generally have several ton metal boxes hurtling down them at 50 miles per hour? Also not all Roman roads survived, plenty fell into disrepair and barely exist as anything but a few stones any longer.
Jeremiah Young
Taxation is used to empower our bloated, inefficient, corrupt government and redistribute the wealth of whites to minorities. So yeah, I'm fine paying taxes, but only for public services and the common defense. Nothing else should result in taxes, the federal government needs to be slashed down 90%, and most state governments need to clean house and get rid of all the corrupt do nothing diversity hires. Rome had lots of slave labor, the empire went to shit when it stopped going to war, stopped expanding, and started raising taxes to counter it.
Brayden Sanders
This. I would have no problem with the government using taxes in a manner that was eugenic for our people.
Problem is taxes right now are only used to help Jews get more money and increase their own power.
If I had power i’d first kick out all Jews and shitskins and then use taxes correct like building things that last like your pic related.
John Thompson
That's not entirely accurate. Rome employed a system of tax farming where they "sold" entire provinces to the highest bidder and then vested that guy with the authority to extract as much wealth as we thought he could from the province. You can see the problem with this system.
Zachary Butler
Usually they fell into disrepair after they were dismantled for building supplies. Same with a lot of aqueducts and coliseums. Their structures were built to last using mostly stone and an amazing concrete formula we just can't get right even today. Though yes, even Roman roads would get fucked by cars.
Jace Mitchell

Henry Reed
Why would a degree mean they can build roads? How many degree holders do you know that know how to do that? You're meme is fucking stupid.
Landon Reyes
>your problem Hello dickhead. The problem is the central banking cartel skimming wealth out of society with their usury. That is the only issue. Have Constitutionally mandated Silver backed currency, and everyone is happy.
Brandon Garcia
only thing bad about basalt roads, is that they get slippery
Ayden Roberts
Ok, so from the bottom to top you have: 1. Crushed rock 2. Crushed rock but more crushed 3. ??? 4. Cobbles
What the fuck is 3.? It looks like dirt, but that would make some of the gravel useless
Isaac King
op talking like we are libertarians... we are a national socialist board, of course we approve of taxes, and a racially homogenous society.
Carter Diaz
>admit it you faggot retards, you have no problem spending money for services when the services are good. Choice.
>your problem is not taxation No choice.
Glad to help you understand.
Parker Jackson
The concrete thing is a myth, we know the formula we just don’t do it because it’s impractical. It requires water from the med.
Lucas Moore
3 must be cement... I think yes, romans for example did have cement, and it apparently was stronger then today's too....
Landon Davis
Looks like it, but if that picture is to scale it looks like it is a fuckload of cement
Brody Bennett
Civil engineers, surveyors, chemists adjusting aggregate formulas, quality control analysts. Are you fucking retarded?
Caleb Garcia
it is either wrong, or the romans were fucking masochists, because the recipe requires literal fucking volcanic ash
Hudson Price
It isn't the engineers to blame, it is the cheap jews who don't want to pay for quality designs, and other jews that profit from planned obsolescence.
Logan Hill
>because the recipe requires literal fucking volcanic ash
What is the recipe? I wan't to build a pizza oven with volcanic ash in their honor
Kevin Wood
>Post pic >Basic concept of Roman roads >Contrasted by real-world picture >With water damage >Fucking water damage >The substance that reduces mountains to sand >Literally the most destructive force in the world
>Rome had lots of slave labor, the empire went to shit when it stopped going to war, stopped expanding, and started raising taxes to counter it. imagine being this fucking stupid. One of the downfalls of the wester roman empire (besides chrisitanity) was their warmongering (which you have to pay)
Josiah Gray
do you know that private companies can make roads?
Walk around Rome. Those basalt cobbles are like iron.
Gavin Bennett
>you have no problem spending money for services when the services are good. >your problem isn't governance in general. Well this implies that you can have good governance that is responsible with money and only taxes what it absolutely needs to in order to provide more efficient services.
But the reality is these things are connected in a way that is inherent to the system. The reason that free market capitalism is so much more efficient is that it has private profit motivation that drives innovation and improvement. Businesses have to compete for customers, where as public institutions have no such motivation because they have no competition, and so stagnate, lack innovation, lack and reason to become more efficient. They attract lazy workers, they're susceptible to workers protesting wages for key services. etc.
Every government without exception has this problem, it black holes at the very least 20% of the taxes it collects before the money goes to anything useful, the services they provide are sub par and often socialized, which means wealthy people pay over the odds in order to provide services to poor people which is straight up wealth redistribution.
And the worst thing about all of this is you cannot undo it without bloody revolution, governments never ever shrink during normal operation they only grow and become less efficient, taxes basically only go up over long periods of time. When the english colonies in the Americas were fed up of the taxation without representation, what it took was hundreds of thousands of deaths in a war to gain their independence. And then a few hundred years later they're back to having big government taxing the fuck out of them. Such a situation only being correctable through mass death and war is not a good situation to be in.
Alexander Barnes
Stone roads have poor traction
Landon Murphy
Modern engineers aren't the problem. They're just given shit funding due to projects going to the lowest bidder, and shit that lasts 2 years is always going to undercut shit that lasts a long time.
