I'm reasonably satisfied with what I get for my taxes, with a few exceptions: restore public education funding, extend unemployment benefits, have the federal government pay for a college education for any child who can gain admission, and a few other things. Oh, and restore federal funding to the states that has been taken away, allowing states and municipalities to lower taxes.

a lib soviet govt monopoly will probably waste 80% of what revenue it gets. An average American family would get a $70K refund if they did not have to pay taxes. A good example is education. A classroom might collect 400k in tax revenue. The teacher gets 50k and the remaining 350k is wasted.
