Who else spends money (efficiently or not) for the public good? This is a nonsensical line of reasonig. You prefer no taxes, no police, no firefighters... Thus the jungle? How long would you last without government on your own? ONLY THE GOVERNMENT TAKES CARE OF THE PUBLIC GOOD!

These are mostly federal taxes. Not city/state. So public good as in the 800 billion defense spending, wars, etc?
