I think that the question about how efficiently gov uses tax money is an order of magnitude more important than the question of how much to pay in taxes.

Another related question is how efficient gov in allocating the help. I wish there is a separate gov body that quantifies the efficiency of all allocations.

Who knows, perhaps, when inefficiencies are removed, taxes we pay now is enough to build a just society with big middle class. I personally consider Wall Street's bailouts and international military interventions are among the biggest gov inefficiencies.
