improper analogy - we pay taxes to local community within Property Taxes, the "local" portion of the Sales Tax, Water/Waste Bill has taxes, etc. Taxpayers also pay tax - property taxes - to THE SCHOOLS in the years before and after their child is done going to school in the local area. The businesses we support in the local area with our monies also pay many of these taxes to the local community - the LOCAL taxpayer is paying plenty to support all the infrastructure in their local area.
So the taxes "industry" pays doesn't qualify "industry" as "taxpayers"? Where does "industry" get all its money BTW? If nobody ever bought goods or services, how much "industry" would there be?
