A tiny portion of your taxes go to that. Look at the budget spending percentages. Look how much money is being taken from the citizens. Now look at how awful our infrastructure is. Bridges are falling apart, the electric grid is hanging by a thread, our education system is clearly failing (if you believe it has a admirable goal...)

The vast majority of the money you pay in taxes is being stuffed right into politicians pockets or sent to other countries and stuff in their politician's pockets
