If you have to ask that, you're dumber than I thought.... Have a nice day... :bash
It is because of people that share the same mindset as you that we have all this Government waste. The government does not have an income problem, it has a spending problem. Stop wasting my money!
We do not have a spending problem, we have a philosophical problem. Stop taxation for just about everything. Move to private service providers, user fees for what the private sector does not address and small taxation to take care of the small % that actually would be on welfare (yes we can take care of the needy, but someone who pops out a kid and wants it educated for free is not needy, that is called wanty, which is our problem). Also accept that a more free society a opportunity come with a chance for failure and poverty. As we average everything out we get the average - the burocracy.
Most debatable spendng happens on the local level (the stuff you could actually change or stop, like the comm center could be stopped cold with a referendum, but no one does this ever in Park County). One of the biggest opportunists of tax money is parents. If you have sent your kid to school on your neighbor's dime, please do not bitch about govt. spending - every year you did it for each kid you sucked up $10,000 of other people properity THAT YOU DID NOT EARN. All parents who did not pay for their kids ed are as bad as the Democrats that everyone around here demonizes (inc me).
Republicans with kids that did not pay = Hippocrit Democrat.
