According to Bush you have more of "your money" already.
I kinda agree with ya when you may not want to see your money squandered on massive "give aways" - but that is what has happened and still the largest deficit ever. (I really think that is one hard "achievement" - it's criminal.)
Health, welfare etc. The fact is, the US has probably (na definately), got the biggest healthcare problem of any western nation.
When you have the govt paying loads of "your money" to drug companies and accepting their "list prices" for drugs, there is a problem since they are spending around 6.4billion/year for this and it has been decided that it is "illegal" to negotiate prices with drug cartels.
I'd think that alone takes care of "your money"? :-)
That is the con - it's not only the US that has this "policy". I can tell ya loads of other countries going back 25 years who had "plans" of replacing income tax with sales tax - we are still waiting for that to happen, but meantime paying both.
So far that does not show up much in the track record over the last few years. Reckon actions speak louder than words.
On move the hell out ... Totally agree!! 
Tho.. despite all these "freedoms" - the IRS will still be chasing your ass irrespective where ya move to.
Better still.. switch off the TV and concentrate on earning money :-)

I don't see health care as it currently is as a problem at all. It shouldn't be the government's responsibility to take care of anyone in that capacity. It should be up to the individual to provide their own health care. We've seen how well socialized medicine has worked in places like canada.
I still think we're all retarded for even attempting to discuss this shit.
