Your property taxes don’t go towards those things though. Maybe a bloated police force, but that’s still usually funded via earned income tax.

laserm@lemmy.world 1 day agoI mean, if the US government wasn’t so stingy about, y know, actually spending on it’s people instead of the military, tax cuts for billionaires and buerocracy, it would be fine imo. Here, in CZ, I’m mostly fine with the taxes since we’re a pretty safe country with decent healthcare. Despite the country still having a huge corruption problem and housing market in flames, it still somehow has higher living Ng standard than the US.

Your federal taxes could go towards local governments if we prioritized it. There’s a choice made, and that choice forces cities to adopt as many taxes as they can get away with in order to fund themselves.

100% we should complain about how our money is used, and how much is paid by whom. But that’s a different complaint.
