what needs to happen is the people take back our country from traitors who's goal is to destroy american values."People" would, but government wouldn't.
Government will raise taxes, and then find new ways to spend more money.
What needs to happen is for government to stop wasting so much money and find ways to cut taxes. In fact, that should always be the mission of government, to work to become more efficient and to try to take as little of our money (read: labor) as possible.
The problem that people lose sight of is, it's so normal now that people just kind of have gotten used to it. They see this big organization out there "working on our behalf" and they say "yeah, we need to give them more of our money so they can do more for us!". Government has also gotten used to this. They see a big pile of money and they don't make the connection of where it came from. They just think "hey, we got all this money, let's spend it all on things WE THINK would be good for the country. What they NEED to be thinking is "this is the people's money, we need to use it wisely and try to take as little from them as possible".
It's become so common place that people lose sight of the fact that your money represents your time and labor. I think most people work about 30% of their hours in a year for free! That's working to give money to the government. I would think our government would be more mindful of that.
