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;
but 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 the administrative organ, it has
responsibility to do overall plan on those public services of city construction,
including constructing the road. They think that the government should do plan
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 the road construction,
many people believe that based on the principle above, since the road is
constructed for the convenience of people themselves, 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 I know, the second opinion is more reasonable and feasible, because it
has two advantages: Firstly, the government could reduce heavy burdens, simplify
and make clear the usage of money; Secondly, tax-payers are clear about the
usage of money they turn over, thus improve the transparency. Therefore, it is a
good measure for both sides to allocate money from the tax paid by people on the
road construction.
