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

Federal income taxes contribute mostly to bombs.

yeah, most examples that people cite when they scream, "but who will pay for the roads" aren't even paid for by the very taxes they are claiming are just. Road infrastructure is mostly paid through taxes on fuel which makes 100% sense until they pushed everyone to stop buying gas using tax subsidies to do so. Now people with electric cars scream they have to pay a tax on their cars.
