I understand that feeling.
But also realize this: The federal highways are paid for by the gasoline tax. So you've been paying your share all along. The local govt. roads are indeed paid for by your local taxes. And the schools are paid for by property tax.
I too, have no problem with any of that.
My problem is when the govt. takes our money and does all the shitty things they do: spying, bombing, etc.
And I kind of feel that ObamaCare never addressed any of the real issues of health care cost: The actual COST of it. The price gouging that goes on at hospitals and the prescription medications that cost more than double the price in the U.S. as they do anywhere else in the world.
All I feel has happened is that we just made Big Insurance a whole lot more richer than before. Meanwhile, my own insurance has more than doubled since 2009. I'm now paying over $1,100 a month for my family of 3. That is just plain out ridiculous.
