We don't get diddly jack from government, except higher taxes, more regulations on every aspect of our lives, fake investigations of fraudulent claims of Russian collusion, and super wealthy CEOs collecting green energy subsidies while we suffer.
You are getting exactly what you are paying for. You pay to be used like a tool, and you are being used like a tool.
Military, monetary system, infrastructure, clean air and water, legal system.....
Bull crap. All of those take a tiny fraction of the cost. We could do all those things you listed, and cut taxes in half.
And none of the people in office have much of anything to do with any of those. Infrastructure is handled by states and locals. Not congress. And the legal system... bull crap, you couldn't even let an honest man be a justice, without trumping up false charges against him. There is no justice with these evil people you support. Monetary system? What has any of the current people in government, specifically done to run the monetary system?
Garbage. All of this is garbage.
