On a side note, since countries aren't businesses, no money is going "to government pockets", despite this being popular term among the press. What governments are supposed to do, is to spend the money it collects in taxes, in full, usually to peoples good. You can always argue whether it's going to the correct place, but you get what you vote for. Government and people aren't separate instances. |
If the USA had more than two big parties, then this statement would be full of win. But seeing as it only has the choice of two, let's face it, shit parties then the people have no real decision on where the money is going because they have the choice between ultra conservative spending and liberal pro-nationalism spending... Not much of a middle road.
Things are a bit different in Britain, much more a choice. Three or four large parties like in Britain will benefit the USA.
But in principle I agree with you statement about taxes, I'm just going wayyy off topic lol
