The ambulance had to take a 20-minute detour to reach the child. She died just before the ambulance arrived. The mainstream media would have you believe that the death of this young girl proves the need for more taxes. The child s death shows the need for safe bridges, however those bridges happen to be funded. The point of this article is that we do not need taxation to pay for better bridges.
Taxation is governed by statute, i.e. by laws passed by legislatures.
The US Tax Code is written by the Congress. If enough people are convinced of the idea, safe bridges can be a reality. Only voters stand in the way. Mr. Dieteman is an attorney in Erie, Pennsylvania, and a PhD candidate in philosophy at The Catholic University of America.
