In America about 80% of the taxes are paid by about 20% of the citizens.
That's me you're talking about, you can thank me for your efficient responses from the passport office. Sure I could find something that I would really like to spend the money on, but there isn't really much else I need that I can't already buy. Federal, State, and local I contribute more than half my income to ingrates like you. But you know what? I'm still glad to live in the greatest country on this planet. Do you really think it would be a great country if it was a crippled weak accumulation of states each trying to lowball the next on services? You may not realize it, but that's what you are asking for.
