  2. Americans and Taxes by Silvrmane · · Score: 0, Troll

    You know what I love to read about? Americans bitching about their taxes. Their infrastructure is falling down all around them, their schools, police, fire departments, utilities, etc. are all chronically underfunded. But lawdy lawdy, don't dare raise their taxes to try to FIX some of this stuff. From the outside looking in, all this complaining just seems so... what are the words? Stupid and shortsighted.
