sb "the argument that "gee, you are lucky, don't try to improve things" is flat" that is not my argument, my argument is citizens should pay taxes to provide some of the best infrastructure in the world, this is a benifit to all. could it be better? of course. could it be worse? travel and tell me your opinion. but with nothing to compare our living standards against,americans do not have a clue how good we have it! how does the US tax rate compare to the rest of the world? from what i have seen we have cheap tax rates in comparison. regards john
