Its that last part that falls short on the USA side.
Im from Australia, and we have higher tax rates then you guys, but we also have less waste in goverment.
We have very diffrent systems.
Im happy to pay taxs, as the benefits we recive on a whole outways the cost,
I understand that we would spend our money better, but as a pool with millions of others it has more value, or weight. Kinda like steem voting. Your votes worth something, and you know what best to do with it.. but it has a larger impact and better all round result if millions pooled there votes.
