I see you follow the line "Vote early, vote often."
Do they still let you vote after you die? (For those who may not know dead people vote all the time in at least Chicago and Cleveland).

Surrey has a population of 1.1m and is spending in the region of £1.8b.
The local authority, Woking, covers around 100,000 with a budgie just shy of £13m.

I'm not really sure where the money comes from... I guess trickle down from fed/state? It's definitely not personal property tax, and there are almost no businesses here. Although we do have a landfill for NY City

$2,208,474,790 / 3,942,169
the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget in the amount of $2,208,474,790
Maricopa County Arizona
Population, 2012 estimate 3,942,169 6,551,149
Land area in square miles, 2010 9,200.14 113,594.08
Persons per square mile, 2010 414.9 56.3
Maricopa County is almost as large as New Hampshire, and contains the state capital.
Also bear in mind that in some parts of the country counties aren't very important.
"On July 11, 1997, the Massachusetts State Legislature abolished Middlesex County as a governmental entity due primarily to the county's insolvency. Middlesex County continues to exist as a geographic boundary.[6]"
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I'm not sure what the issue is. Martin County per person is $3,333, while Palm beach is $2,835. Your county's budget per person is more!

Lol, considering the federal tax per person using the same math is:
3.45 Trillion / 316,148,990 = $19,912 that makes it $20k + $3k = $23k in taxes per person, WTF.

To bad you don't live in the USA. Here most expenditures are borrowed.

Someone will get stuck when the music runs out so I consider it a tax. Unfortunately, with borrowed money it all comes due when the house of cards falls.

Inadequately defined question error:
Just the county budget? County + all the municipalities in it (I think these are most of the local spending in PA)? + counties share of state money? + share of federal money?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Country Budget is not ill defined. Type in your County Name + State + Budget on google and their will be an annual report for your county (most likely) with a budget number.

The difference between what gets spent at what level of govt between states means you're comparing apples to tire irons.
Cambria county PA's $60m for 140k mostly reflects that the county govt doesn't do much. AFAIK it only runs the courthouse and county jail.
Most tax dollars/spending occur at the municipal level. Ex Johnstown spends $12m with another $30m for the school district despite having only 20k pop. That's >4.5x per capita.

Population: 540,504
Expenditures: $73,043,526
$55 million of budget comes from property and sales tax. A surprising amount comes from court fines.
As has been pointed out, however, my county is mostly incorporated towns and cities with some state land, so you'd have to add it all up.
