Is there an example of a bridge which was built directly by tax cuts for the top 1%?

I seriously would like to see an example ... because I would feel like an idiot if there actually was one demonstrably built DIRECTLY DUE TO TAX CUTS, if I'm going to say "Show me one bridge built by tax cuts ..."

1. Yes. Frank did that, down on his used cow ranch.

He put one of those grate things over a ditch that keep the cattle from straying out onto the road.

If by "bridge", however, you mean one of those big things in the U.S., like I-35 over a river, that millions of people use for commerce and movement around the country, I would guess not. I'm pretty sure the scale of those things require that people pay their fair share of taxes and then we put the necessary resources together.

If you find out differently, I would really like to know.

2. "grate things" are "cattle guards" (Texas) or "cattle gaps" (Fla.) nt

3. Yeah, I wrote that the first time, then got rid of it.

Grate thing sounded a little stupid, like flat tax or the wealthy building bridges out of the goodness of their heart, so it seemed to flow better. ;)

I'm from Oklahoma, but I had not heard the term cattle gaps linked to Fla.

Amazing what one can learn here...

4. A. U.S. Highway by-passed Dade City, Florida -- over a cattle gap.

A kids going to my Grandmother's house, we used to imitate the sound it made, "Br-r-r-u-u-u-mp." Now, over half a century later, on a town near the outskirts of Austin, TX, a busy highway crosses -- yep -- a cattle guard. Can't get away from 'em.
