That makes no sense. Can I get my taxes back since I don't have children, and I've never been a child in this country? And I've never driven on that road, can

  It makes total sense. You shouldn't be taxed if you don't use a service. We have an easy way to deal with roads: tolls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnpike_trust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnpike_trust

    We also have an easy way to deal with military: mercenaries. (/s) You don't receive a service from taxes, because a government is not a company, and society is not a itemised order list for a reason: they are often interdependent to a degree, that you cannot have one without the other. You definitely want everyone in your country to be as good educated as possible, especially in a democracy. You can't complain about a stupid government, if you have stupid electorate.

      >You can't complain about a stupid government, if you have stupid electorate. The American electorate would like to have a few monosyllabic, badly spelled and probably racist words with you.
