I'm so fucking sick of this shitty ass fucking country taking so much money out which doesn't benefit my family or friends!
For what?
Shitty roads with massive potholes?
High food prices and gas? Shitty education?
Oh I'm so proud to be an American!

If we stopped creating useless weapons of destruction, that would help.

Taxes in general are being used for the military.

Creating WMDs cost a lot of money. If we were to use some of that money on more important things such as: proper education, proper care of roadways, and many other important things.

You have nothing to compare it to. So how would you know that you are getting the best education available, when you have only experiance one kind of education.

You should try living in the UK. You think you got it bad? Every product is generally around half the price it is here, and our gas and electricity bills are hitting the roof, so much that most of the population has had to cap their payments. Sheesh I wanna live in America.

I've heard the economy is starting to bottom out there, didn't the pound dip below $2 not too ling ago?
"How bad are the working conditions?" is the only question I can think of, because America isn't exactly having a cakewalk, even if the Euro is below $1.50 for the first time in I forgot how long.

Although I can acknowledge that our tax dollars are largely put to waste, we're still stuck paying them until we drop dead, and even then we're being taxed. It's either that, or the federal pen with every other tax evader.
I don't see why we're overly complaining about taxes, it's not like medieval times where they taxed you to hell until they get the damn shirt off your back.

Here in New York, it's just starting to become a headache, because the stupid Legislature can't decide whether it really want's to put a tax on the rich for once. So go figure.

I had a big image that shows exactly where your taxes go. Here it is.

Also, what taxes. Income tax? I've heard loads of shit about how that is illegal. Or the other taxes on EVERYTHING from gas to dildos is what pays for the roads, like the gas tax pays for roads. Or the taxes that involve the 104o. If you wanna learn more on taxes watch Aaron Russos "America: Freedom To Fascism". A pretty good movie and it goes really in-depth.

This is the ultimate form of gay.

Can't the government just create a massive amount of money on a computer?

Banks do it.
