My local taxes take care of that. Get it? LOCAL taxes.
Of course the Civil war and the Confederate flag was not about slavery

I have fire ins. but just got a bill for $150 from the state because I live near a National Forest. How is that fair when the majority of fires are started by folks just passin thru...........

Ummm, the local street in front of my house was not paid for by federal dot, htsa, or otherwise. i think you are talking about interstate highways.

Yeah, i don't understand it either. Do people living in the city get extra bills because of the higher crime rate?

Well of course a small municipality will take the funds if they're available. That's how the state and federal government gets their hooks into local politics. Which is the problem i would like to see an end to.
In the end, nice deflection.

Do you concede I am right?
You should
And I still dont want to pay for your roads
But i still do

That goes against self-preservation imo. Giving your money away for something that you don't want.
i concede federal money gets used locally but we could manage just fine without it. If people, as a society, weren't so willing to have someone "care" for them.

A harm would result in an event where actual damage took place, so that restitution can occur. For instance I break your window. I fix or pay to fix your window. Making faces or hurting somebodies feelings or committing a fashion crime are difficult to restitute.

Are you 1/10000th responsible for the death "your" tank brings to others ?

It is likely you don't. Many roads are paid for thru property taxes or at the state level. Of course roads could easily be paid for by a use fee or if you insist on a fuel surcharge that more or less allocates cost according to use.

The reality is "federal money" is taken from local people everywhere. When they "give" states money, they must by definition take more from everybody. No free lunch from the Feds.

Don't forget that the Federal Reserve can and does also print tons of cash and creates more and more debt and we all know how that game works between the Fed and the Feds. And people continue to buy into it.
