Rmom, there are two basic problems:
1) The longer a career politician is in office, the more dishonest he becomes.
2) The longer an honest person is in office, the more he comes to realize that the government can’t accomplish anything positive if taxes are lowered.
Me, I’m just happy to live in the single industrialized nation in the world with the lowest tax rates overall (that is, the United States). Rather than complain about how much taxes I have to pay (which is to say, not very much at all), I write letters to my legislators urging policy changes to benefit the lower and middle classes at the expense of the wealthy and the big corporations, rather than the reverse (as has been the case for most iof my lifetime).
