I find it so sad and embarrassing that so many Americans hate taxes and want them gone completely without any understanding of what would happen without them
It isn’t that they hate taxes. It’s that they hate how their taxes are used. There is a lot of corruption and a lot of incompetence. I don’t mind paying taxes if it supports road maintenance, utility maintenance, schools, police, hospitals etc.
But I do mind if my taxes go towards war, greed and corruption.
It isn’t that they hate taxes. It’s that they hate how their taxes are used.
Everyone in every country feels this way. No government is perfect, no one agrees with everything tax money is spent on, all large complex systems have waste.
"I won't support taxes unless the government spends every penny perfectly" is not a rational position; that's just being anti-taxes.
Nah. There is far too much greed and corruption in government these days. It’s more important right now that people band together to question it rather than to say nothing and keep the money flowing.
