Why do people get so frustrated with taxes?
Because paying taxes is one thing. Feeling like you have no say in where that money goes is another.
Most Americans work hard, see federal taxes come out of every paycheck, and then watch huge amounts of government spending get debated while everyday costs keep climbing.
The argument should not simply be about paying taxes or not paying taxes.
It should be about what taxpayers are actually getting in return, how efficiently that money is spent, and whether the system feels fair.
Nobody wants to work harder just to feel like their paycheck is funding a system they have no confidence in.
