      To build that infrastructure, an increase in taxes will be needed. The middle and lower tax brackets can’t afford any additional taxes at this time, so that leaves corporations and the upper tax brackets that will need to foot the bill. They don’t want that, so they pay to have campaigns of ignorance blasted at the masses to induce fear of any tax reform.

      At the end of the day, nothing gets fixed and the wealthy keep their money.

        Or things get fixed at 10x what the actual costs should be because the people who award the contract are paid with part of that excess and it helps them keep the seat that allows them to continue funneling money.

        Plus, why build anything properly when you can build it shit and (a) get paid the same anyway or (b) keep getting paid indefinitely to come back and finish the job?
