Who would you trust to handle that money for you? Essentially, that is what you are doing when you decide who to vote for on election day!
Elected officials, whether federal, state, county, city, or town, have all that tax money of yours. That money pays for a lot of daily use items like roads, sewers, water lines, etc. However, those elected officials make a lot of decisions that affect your future. Growth causes increased demands on services which result in the need for services to be not only maintained but expanded (or it should be done). How well that money is used is a measure of how well someone is handling your investment. If someone bought stock for you, using your money, and it ended up resulting in no profits and the loss of your initial investment as well, just how happy would you be?
I would be pretty darned angry!
The proper use of your tax money should result in better services, enhanced quality of life, increased property values, a safer environment, and a lot of other things I could list.
Just thought I would mention this idea in time for people to take a look at things like thousands of your dollars spent on software that was never used. (Do you hear the sound of the flushing in the background? that was your tax money being wasted.) Something to think about! How much money do you think you invest in taxes over a 30-40 year time period? Even at a local level with property taxes, sales taxes, meals taxes, cigarette taxes, etc…etc…etc. I’ll bet it adds up to a nice chunk of change! Who do you trust to manage that money?
