Everybody does. But--speaking from the US perspective--most taxes don't go to those things.

The manner in which those taxes are distributed is a choice made by a person. Convince your countrymen to vote for people who will direct taxes towards those things. While not an easy feat, the way things are today are not the way they must be tomorrow.

> Everybody does.

Then we're in agreement that taxes are a necessity. Can we also agree that taxes should be collected fairly (even if we might disagree on what a fair balance might be)?
