Don't raise my taxes but by God you better keep the street in front of my house nice and smooth, you better defend me against enemies, you better put a fire out if my house ignites, i better be able to flush my toilet, kids better be able to afford college, there better not be terrorists on my plane, the snow better be plowed, i better not be in danger because of drunk drivers, you better try to bring business and growth to my community, i better see a Fourth of July parade. But dammit don't raise my taxes.
