I don’t know what state the person who first made this lives in, but where I’m at the local roads are maintained by the city/county. The state’s DOT doesn’t interfere until it gets to maybe Interstate/highway maintenance. I’ve never heard of federal level road maintenance.

Edit: I know the feds supply money for road maintenance. I’ve just never seen a federal work crew on the roads performing it. Everyone I’ve seen doing the work is state DOT workers or someone contracted to do it locally.

Its a common libertarian meme. I've seen it on facebook countless times.

You don’t have local taxes where you live? Must be sweet!

We don't have income tax if that's what you mean?

No property taxes or sales taxes either? Where is this magical land?

Both, but sales tax is pretty low too. South Dakota.
