More Americans need to realize how little we get for our tax dollars compared to citizens of other countries. People have been trained to expect far too little, as govt simply gives away their money so a few people can have more. Health care an example...

I’ve moved to France. A prescription I had in the US cost just over 1/10th the price here without insurance. Of course, I have my government insurance and supplemental so it’s paid for 100%. Americans are being massively ripped off.

We get to give more of our tax dollars to corporations and billionaires than other countries.

The majority of our tax dollars goes to our nation's war machine. The overwhelming majority. It's like a death cult runs this nation.

What Americans need to realize is how little of their tax money is actually collected by the government. The truth is, there are a lot of countries, that prefer to give this money to large companies and individuals with high incomes.

You're a lot more convincing when you're not stumping for establishment Dems like @ewarren.
