I'm still not even sure what benefits I am actually receiving from the government. It seems like a pretty one-way transaction on the federal level to me.

it's funny because lots of other people especially in cities full of brown skin run by democrats have the opposite experience they pay nothing despite receiving benefits. Taxation is a half duplex transmission, it sends and receives but only one way at a time if you're sending you won't get anything back and when you're taking it doesn't ask anything of you

Even the things I do benefit from such as roads, DMV, trash, police, fire, state parks (okay I will concede national parks as well), utilities are all state and city level items that I don't mind paying for.

I am honestly not sure what the Federal government is giving me. Everything they touch ends up ruining the entire industry and costing me more than if they weren't involved like health insurance and student loans.

Roads? Bridges? Not in good shape. Cameras to record your novements? That's a benefit???

I am more than happy to pay for the roads I use. I am not okay with paying for a bunch of freeloading fucks.
