You are right when you say that everyone pays taxes, but in the US you pay to simply breath the fucking air, because you get fuck all back! At least in Europe when you're sick you don't have to worry how the fuck you're going to pay your hospital bills, because there is no bill, and don't anyone start saying thet US hospitals are the best, been there and done that and I prefer without doubt the British health system. Just to tell you one, a friend of mine in Ohio, his house caught on fire and the county fire department sent him a bill of $2,300. Where in the fucking world besides the united fucking states of fucking america do you pay the fire department to put the flames out in your home??
You're all slaves of corporate america that own your life and you look over at the EU like its a system that isn't working.

Americans have had this low tax myth pummeled into them for a very long time. Maybe they would like lower taxes, we all would. But at what costs?
Metering road use, so the moment they drive off in their car an automatic meter deducts money from their bank accounts to pay for the roads and upkeep. Police, Fire Dept., Paramedics, Disaster reliefs, etc. All run on the same system. Maybe make all the above run by private companies as well. Owned by billionaires.
Flying from an airport will carry a $100 to $1,000 airport charge to pay for the building, upkeep, flight safety, security, traffic control, etc to cover the costs.
And everything else all in the hands of people like BP. And when they fuck up, a private company will be in charge of investigating into why. Or more likely covering it up.
Police and crime detection will be a great way to save costs. If you need them, they will give you a quote over the phone before they turn up.
Army, defense, courts all run the same way. And The White House will be renamed as The House of Microsoft.
The poor will get SWEET FA. And if you live, work and play in a walled enclosure, guarded 24//365 pay highly trained guards. You will be fine. As the prisons will close because no one will pay for them.

This is the problem politicians have. There are 1,000s of things that have to be paid for. Running a country isn't cheap. You can't run it with guys one $50k a year. Or by outsourcing work to the third world. So they need to have taxes to pay for the costs. The problems are that the politicians won't get elected if they tell people that. Or raise taxes. So instead of running withing the taxes received they borrow money and now the US has a huge mountain of debt. And look like it's doing not so bad.
Well that's the US problem explained. Solution? Not a fucking clue.
