The citizens of Cobb County, Georgia, are currently mulling a proposal that would increase property taxes for 10 years in order to fund a new light-rail line between Atlanta to its suburbs. It's a fairly straightforward proposal, the kind of thing that pops up all the time in communities across the country. But if there's been one lesson of the past few years, it's that mundane policy debates have a tendency to become a lot less mundane once tea partiers get involved.

In this case, the Georgia Tea Party is arguing that the county should abandon its light-rail proposal because if the light-rail line were to be completed, it would become a magnet for terrorist attacks. Here's the group's chair, J.D. Van Brink:

If anyone doesn't believe me – look at England and Spain. Now, if we have a more decentralized mass-transit system using buses, if the terrorists blow up a single bus, we can work around that. When they blow up a rail, that just brings the system to a grinding halt. So how much security are we going to have on this rail system, and how much will it cost?

In other words, Van Brink is arguing that because terrorists fantasize about blowing up American infrastructure, we should avoid spending any money on infrastructure.

In a way- it makes sense- but for another reason. Look at all the 99 year leases of roads and infatructure. Why should I pay tax to build more when it will likely be sold off to a private corporation?

I dont see a problem. Why should we build something the terrorist could attack? Why should our tax payer money be used on anything that could be destroyed. We are better off hiding in the woods or in deep bunkers so the terrorist cant find us. Those have a better chance of not being destroyed. This why we the tea party oppose building sewers, roads, traffic lights, stadiums, and house. They all could be attacked by terrorist.
