You know there are lots of other taxes than just income tax?
Roads and car infrastructure, at least in my area, is paid for entirely through through gas and car insurance taxes, occasionally property taxes if it’s in a municipality. But income tax doesn’t pay a penny for the roads.
Downvoted for telling the truth. The original comment is still wrong but “what about the roads” crowd never seems to know that roads are almost entirely funded with gas tax. That’s what the $3.67^9 is for
How do you propose we pay for roads, military, and everything else you use?

Tf I want to pay tax on subsidized dino rot? Sales tax punished poor people, properly structured income tax does not.
Consumption taxes are regressive and affect the poor more than the rich.
EDIT income taxes almost certainly pay for a significant portion if not a majority of the road work in your area.

Not even close, only 41% of road spending in the US is covered by gas taxes.
