Well, my local police department and fire department isn't paid for out of my federal taxes.
I'm paying for my benefits one way or another, and I have zero choices in the matter. My insurance company wasn't picked by me; It was picked by my wife's employer. We also had no say in what options we get, or how much we pay.
This is a really crappy system.
As for taxes, raise my taxes. There are so many legal loop holes in our tax system that only the stupid people pay taxes.
