Indeed.  Why not.

They spent their money on taxes, lots of them, and look where it got them.  Might as well put that spend to good use.

Imagine paying money for a decade or more towards a new vehicle, or even fixing up your vehicle, only to have the govt vote 7-1 to give it to someone else and tell you to bum a ride with the person in the next town over, in their new vehicle that you funded.    TaxPAYERS in countywide endeavors, just like cities, never get their money's worth.  Never.

Team Wootton parents  (not my catchment but glad to see them do this)

Your analogy is so far off it betrays a misunderstanding of what government is. You have not been paying into taxes the way you pay a car loan. We pool all of our taxes and give out the benefits evenly. Did you think you would get nicer roads or better trash collection or a shinier DMV if you paid more taxes? No. You actually could choose to rent a tiny studio apartment and you would still have access to roads and trash collection and the DMV, because that is how societies work.
