'Taint necessarily so. My parents pay very high taxes --especially property taxes on the value of land, which does NOT necessarily produce income.
Taxes are quite high, and services paltry. The schools are not bad, but the closest top notch hospital is two hours away. The local police are not very competent and the county and state cops not usually around. My parents live on a narrow two lane highway that has needed repaving for years. The fire department is a group of local volunteers.
Your statement shows typical urban bias and ignorance of the way things are outside of urban areas.
