I would feel better about giving 50% of my income to federal, state, local income, property and sales taxes IF they spent the money better (with little going overseas) and weren't trillions in debt with trillion dollar deficits and monetary policies that will likely cause hyperinflation and austerity measures that crash life as we know in my lifetime.
I don't see my taxes going to as many worthwhile things that help the lives of a typical person.
I vote against any school tax levy increase. They use the money to build overpriced schools with huge sports complexes and overpay the non-teacher bloat. The average student cost in the state is around $13,500 per year. So an average class is $350,000 to $400,000 year. I doubt the individual classroom and teacher cost that. Test scores and graduation rates keep going down and they constantly complaign about under funding causing it instead of their focus on teaching garbage rather than actual life skills.
The federal government is a bloated joke that's $35 trillion under water and spending twice what it takes in yearly. If it was a person, we would have arrested them for fraud.
