Do you think that the money of taxes should be used to maintain roads, or
should it be used to improve transportation?
To construct and maintain roads is a public service administered by the
government. However, where does the money come from? Somebody
believe that the government should allocate money from national finance on
the road construction; others think that the roads are constructed for people,
so every tax-payer has the responsibility for constructing and maintaining
the roads. It is so-called "what is taken from the people is used in the
interests of the people."
To the first opinion, since government is an administrative organ and has
responsibility to do overall plan on those public services of city
construction, including constructing the road. They think that the
government should make plans and allocate every penny on all things
concerning people’s life.
However, in reality the government cannot do all specific plans and money
allocations on every detail concerning the society running. It only has the
right of macro-adjustment and control. To be specific, on road construction,
many people believe that based on the principle above, since the road is
constructed for the convenience of people, every tax-payer has duty to
devote a little on the road construction, which is not only for the city overall
plan, but also for their own use fundamentally. Once the constructions
finish, the roads will be wider and longer, the facilities along the roads will
be better in use. By then people could further improve their working
efficiency, etc.
As far as I am concerned, the second opinion is more reasonable and
feasible because it has two advantages: Firstly, the government could reduce
heavy burdens easily and make clear the usage of money. Secondly, tax-
payers are clear about the usage of money they turn over, thus improving the
transparency. Consequently, it is a good measure for both sides to allocate
.
money from the tax paid by people on the road construction
