    What have I ever gotten from paying my taxes?

    Except the roads of course, that goes without saying

    And okay, okay, police keeps order and makes it we have a lawful nation

    And sure, sure, firemen will always be there to protect my house from burning down but that’s nothing!

    And I had free education, but come on, isn’t that what you’d expect at the very least?

    Nothing!

    And okay, they did get me free healthcare too, fine, but that’s nothing

    Investments to promote local businesses? Fine…

    So aside from the roads, police, firemen, education, healthcare, investments, what have taxes ever done for me?

    Nothing!

    People like that feel like a Monty Python sketch

      Well, if you’re living in the USA, you have the largest military budget on the planet and now your paying for the Orange Fuck Nut to play golf.
