People do pay taxes in the US? I paid almost nothing in Texas, thats why it looked like a shithole. No budget for anything. In Europe I love to pay taxes, because I see where it's going to

Federal taxes are payable by all US citizens regardless of location.

State taxes… I can't say I know even a single thing about how it works when you leave the USA. I hear news, but I don't live in the US, nor do I want to. The way taxes are handled is one of many things contributing to that lack of interest, even with what little I do know about it being about federal taxation.

It goes to the PM's brother, who got a job working for the government without even knowing where his office is.

Most wonderful part of living in Spain is paying taxes and not even having access to the public healthcare system. You have to pay extra for that.

In Spain you pay taxes through the nose and there's nothing to show for it. Motorways look like they are you are in Congo.

I don't know what part of Spain you live in - Galicia is chock full of beautifully-maintained autovias.

I'm just surprised the most far-flung, depopulated region would have better infrastructure than the rest

It’s less used so it’s in much better shape. Try coming to the touristy places of the south.
