Well this is a problem of right wing parties. I mean left wing parties at least say they want to use taxes. Or even raise taxes.
Republicans (in the US, but this is what the right wing does in every country) are able to sell the lie that taxes are bad. And I mean that is fine, that is their choice and right, but please also be honest about the consequences.
In the US furthermore it is of course a problem because you have socialism for the rich. As system that is overly protective of those that can already protect themselves.
Still it is all a question of what you find important. I mean if we in Holland would be happy with the same road quality as they have in Italy or the US, we could also bring down are tax brackets at least 10 % for the coming 30 years. But still, cars are driving around in Italy and the US, so maybe we are indeed just overspending for nothing.
