It depends on what they're doing with the tax money.
My property tax dollars bought the fire chief a nice brand new SUV to drive around. Now this is a volunteer fire department mind you and you can ride a bicycle across town in 10 minutes. Seems like a wasteful expenditure. I've seen the fire chief vehicle driving around in another town that is in a different county, at a mall. I dare say it wasn't official for chief business........
Also, I would also like to point out that I live in tornado country. When tornadoes hit, the people here don't really get all that much help. Nobody swarms from across the country to lend us a hand. We don't get any federal aid either.
My sister in law took out a personal loan and drove to Louisiana as a red cross volunteer to help out and the people there spit in her face. She said she has never been treated as horribly by people she was trying to help as the people in Louisiana treated her. She actually quit the red cross because of it. Now I know they should have gotten help sooner, but does that give them a right to spit in the faces of those who actually showed up to help them? What about the next family that won't get helped by her because she doesn't feel it's worth it to volunteer her time, at her own expense to help those who won't even try to help themselves. She had one lady complain because she was given a piece of sausage and a biscuit on her plate and she was mad because she wanted it made into a sandwich and they didn't do it for her. She also heard an unbelievable amount of complaining because the people just knew the red cross was supposed to be serving one meal per day from a fast food place. WTF is that, you are given free food and you want to complain.
There were yet other people who refused to help fill air mattresses for people to sleep on. There weren't enough volunteers to get them all filled. They asked some of the people to help out. The answer was and I quote "we just lost our fucking homes and now you want us to work?"
