From the Land of Fucking Dumb Ideas

Comes one of the fucking dumbest ideas heard since the Republican/Teabaggers suggested the US default on its debt.
American taxpayers should not foot the bill for infrastructure improvements around the country, the new White House chief of staff said recently.

“I don’t think raising the taxes on the American people right now is the way to go at this point of our economy," William M. Daley told Bob Schieffer of CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday.

Daley, a former Wall Street executive who opposed two of President Obama's major initiatives, said that investment for US infrastructure could instead come from private sources both foreign and domestic.
Sounds like a good idea, saving the taxpayer from additional burden until you consider this scenario.
As you drive down the Poulan WeedEater Turnpike to the Heinz Ketchup cutoff you are glad you refilled your traveling water bottle from the Aquafina Water Service tap before they raised the rates again. Speaking of rates, that dump you took this morning put you at the limit of allowable waste with the Koch Brothers Shit Service and with their overage rates it looks like you will be shitting in the woods until next month.
Somebody always has to pay for it. The advantage of taxes is that you need not make a profit for Wall St or cover excess executive salaries and bonuses. Or as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society".
