that argument lacks depth.
Anyhow, I am not referring to the tax policy as a whole, social services need to exist which I am a million times happy to give my money to funding. I am referring to general government waste--we have tons of programs/policies that no longer make sense or are outdated that we still keep because of the repercussions politicians would face from their constituents if we got rid of them.
i.e. Social security needs to be addressed. It will **** us over so much if we do not--most politicians wont touch it with a 8 foot rod because in order to make social security feasible again someone is going to loose which means they are going to loose votes.
i.e. How public schools are dealing with cuts--they are cutting positions and classes (instead of administration and bureaucratic waste) because those cuts are the cuts that people notice. When people notice cuts they get inflamed and are more likely to vote to give public schools more money.
When you really look at the system it is very broken.
Also why I am moving to Sweeden when I turn 37.
