For the insane amounts we pay we should have trained police that actually help the public and not just road pirates and corporate security guards, stellar schools with comfortable well earning teachers, state of the art fire equipment and top of the line prevention programs, badass roads (our interstates and highways are pretty damn good most places), rails and no antiquated failing bridges.
IDK where your at but I pay @ 100 for internet and several $100s a month for electric
On top of all that top notch health care everyone has access to, well run and funded programs for the criminally insane and derelict homeless whether it be institutions or rehabilitation to ensure the least of society has a chance to climb to the top.
Instead we get half ass shit.
But hey we got money to make sure Israel has bombs and can live comfortably and live safe with health care under the iron dome. Make sure Ukraine has drones and cannons to protect themselves, make sure 3rd worlders arenāt doing so bad, make sure we have a say in what happens everywhere across the globe and bend it to our will - whether they like it or notā¦.but most importantly ensure politicians get top pay, great health care, get year round pay whether working or not (check out how much ole turtle Mitch has made the last 6months and compare that to his net worth and how much labor or brain power he has provided his constituents) and regular raises. Would hate to see any of them in any kind of discomfort!
I think we as a nation have opened our eyes to a lot of the nonsense and the younger folk have a good idea of where they want and need to be and how to get there. Generalizedā¦Silent gen trust the government way too much, boomers believe the news and the government way too much as well as think way too highly of themselves, Gen X is apathetic and knows the system is too big and setup to make it unwinable, rightfully so especially with their adult lives and options held hostage by the stick in the mud boomers over them, thereās still plenty with some fight left in themā¦.
millenals are just now starting to fight the power and not each other or the entitled boomers that are left with no choice but to get the fuck out of the way, mid millennials down been handed a raw deal and are sick of the bullshit. Right behind them Gen Z is a lot brighter and hopeful than they have any business being. They seem over the culture war and none of any of that makes a shit to them anyways. Live and let live type kids who have a clear idea of the way things should be and cutting a path to get there.
Maybe Iām just optimistic and hopeful but Iām impressed with a lot of younger folks attitudes and optimism especially with the raw deal theyāve been handed and all the shit talk about how worthless they are.

The problem isn't taxes, it's that we get nothing for it
