The purpose of taxation isn't to waste money, it's to do what the people want that the market can't do by itself.

Okay, well lets say our taxes go to fix and repair the roads, which they do. If no one wanted their taxes to help repair the roads, what will happen? Potholes will get bigger, more accidents will happen...no one is paying to fix the roads, so who ends up fixing them?

But people do value roads, so money will continue to be spent on them.

How can money be spent on roads if people get to choose where their tax dollars go and no one wanted to pay for the roads?

Roads are valuable enough to society to warrant tax money. Otherwise, they shouldn't get any. If society didn't value, say, a 300m tall statue of George W. made of solid gold, then why should tax money be used on it?

I don't think it should, the Government should pay for it out of their own pocket - not the public purse. Just a shame they use the public.

ALL the money the government has comes from YOUR pockets, in one way or another.

I know, and I don't like it, but as long as the money is put to good use, it's okay I suppose.
