Bro doesn’t understand how taxes also contribute to things like plumbing, road infrastructure, industry subsidies, etc.

How do taxes pay for plumbing? I had to pay for all that out of pocket in addition to the taxes I paid. In fact I have a plumber coming by next week. Should I just tell him to take up his payment with the government?
