Besides Eritrea, everyday Americans suffer with the absolute worst return for their annual tithes on the planet.

This is because it's going to fraud and grift. I have been saying this for 3-4 years now.

You can't open the borders wide open to all comers, then pay for their healthcare, housing, education and food; then tax citizens more without them complaining.

You can't have an open sewer on your city streets; then tax citizens more without them complaining.

You can't pay public servants more than those in the private sector; then tax citizens more without them complaining.

The starkest contrast I have seen is, outside of Bakersfield (a poor farming city) is a State government parking lot with brand new F-150,250,350s, and on the cities streets are driving 30yo vehicles.

Its really incredible to see first hand the contrast between the governments wealth and the peoples wealth.
