$5 Trillion in taxes is paid yearly plus a lot more from fines & fees.
This money is used to do upkeep & manufacturing work (ie manufacturing traffic lights).
The deep state hands the business to Corporations they own so most tax dollars enrich them.
They love wars because there is a lot of manufacturing work to make new tanks, bombs and other expensive items.
To add insult to injury, they pay top dollar to their corporations. (ie $100 instead of $5 for a hammer).
I even noticed the business for building the wall at the border was given to Israel so the money doesn’t even stay in our Country in that case.
Taxes is a big waste of money that should be kept within our civilian pool. Giving it to the deep state only empowers them. This is why many have stopped paying taxes.
Meh, I say just don’t pay or spend time filing any paperwork. Don’t play their game.
