People really need to start seeing taxes as a good thing.

Tax-funded health care saved my brother, when in his early 20s a brain anuyrism required north of 100K in medical bills-- paid for by the State of MN because he didn't have health insurance at the time.

He would have been bankrupt for life without that. Or dead.

Tax funded health care has saved my wife's life twice.

I find it debatable as there are countries with high corruption which have bad uses of people taxes.
