I've said a similar sentence on here in the past, but there's a large anti-tax sentiment in the US because their government is one of the most inefficient per dollar.

People are against paying for nothing, not against paying for services. There's just no confidence that the amount of services rendered can change away from "as little as they can get away with", so there's no enthusiasm for paying at all.

The government is very efficient at redistributing your SS money from young broke workers to old more well off SS recipients. And at converting $ into guided missiles that blow up Iranian girls' schools. It's just that it's not practically possible to have "representatives" that actually represent the people in muh democracy in USA. See the massive unprecedent money that got poured in to make Massie lose his primary when he acted against the interest of Israel and to expose pedophiles in power.
