The largest 3 blocks of the budget are military, social security and Medicare.

Personally I'd happily decimate the military budget. Social security however is very popular. As is Medicare.

Ok, so the current level of taxation is definitely not for the police, fire, and roads which is what you led with.

If you want to convince people taxes are important honestly you need to do it with Medicare. Social security, and military.
