Once you realize our taxes in the United States, don’t even begin to service our debt, you start to wonder why we get taxed.

My working theory is that if the government didn’t take our money and we got to use it to create value for our fellow citizens, the government wouldn’t be necessary anymore. They wouldn’t have justification for scaling year over a year.
