Bridge maintenance
Many roads ARE constructed and maintained by private businesses, and paid for privately.
Water purification in towns and cities
Is completely the purview of That Particular Town or City...I think you like to conflate local Government with Federal Government.....This is much like the liberal tendency to always appeal to "Police and Firemen" (good government) when trying to filch taxpayers into paying for some bloated Federal Program which has incidentally, nothing whatsoever to do with "Police and Firemen"....Ditto The Road construction and utilities which you list.
Do away with aid to utilities when they build new generation plants
Easily done, also States and municipalities already do this as well.
Garbage pickup
I pay for just such a thing in my area....It costs $45 every THREE months. How much does your local municipal trash pickup charge it's citizens every month?
Income tax collection
Are completely unnecessary and incidentally, Unconstitutional to boot. Do away with them.
Postal services
UPS...Fed EX? Anyone?
Subsidies to agriculture
Gone.
Subsidies to the sugar industry
Gone
Soil Bank program
Gone....Fired
Blind rehabilitation programs
Fired
Subsidies to lending industrial and business loans
Again...Pink-slip
Now let's talk all of your Well-fare programs.....
Gone, fired, unnecessary...Pink-slip.
Why? Because they CAUSE more poverty than they cure.
But what you are judging is one's concern for the poor by their desire to precisely do ONE THING...use the government to make SOMEONE ELSE pay for their wellfare. When my bleeding heart goes out to the poor, I send them to Rev's house...when Rev can't or won't give them money....I use government force to confiscate Rev's money against his will and hand it to the poor people instead. NOW THAT KOMRADE is genuine concern. :laugh:
