Okay... That'll fund like what.. An hour of governance?

Why more Americans Are not mad at the complete waste of our tax money is beyond me

For a billion dollars, other countries are successfully building entire transit systems, high speed rails, other infrastructure, or running massive welfare programs.

We should be getting so much more.

We should receive much more value and yes the people who owe on taxes should pay much more than when it’s not enforced.

All this fake patriotism in America. Pay your fucking taxes and you won’t be threaten by IRS efficiency.

I'm not threatened by the IRS. I pay my taxes on time every year, and plan on doing so. I think it's your duty. But I'm also not a complete pushover and realize I should be getting more for them. We all should.
