Taxes aren't a bad idea nowadays, when you consider that they go towards roads, defense, and schools. But our legislatures at multiple levels have used those goals to justify all of their cash-grabbing bills, later apportioning the funds to other things. It's ridiculous, though, that our government officials, who are public servants, are flown and driven around this country in the absolute lap of luxury, usually surrounded by high-price security guards. That is entirely government waste. So are most modern monuments, sad as it is to say.
