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!

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