Can you say deficit!!! The United States has one of the lowest tax rates in the industrialize world, meanwhile our infrastructure is crumbling. I think it is difficult to personalize what one receives directly from taxes but from my travels around the world, I think we take for granted many of the freedoms and opportunities our system provides us. I do agree with your point on how we spend our tax revenues...I sure wish other countries that rely on our military made a contribution to that expense. If we are going to be the policeman of the world, we should at least get paid for it.
