The Space program, the Internet, the Eisenhower Interstate Highway system, the TVA, represent a few success stories of tax monies well-spent. The USA could have spent tax dollars developing breakout technologies in Renewable Energy and Global Warming mitigation technologies instead of spending more on Military Defense (OFFENSE). The USA could have developed a small-farm infrastructure instead of Corporate Farms. Central Distribution of Energies could have been replaced with Distributed Energies. Just a few items to identify how tax monies could be spent wisely instead of fattening the coffers of the already wealthy, influential, corrupt, entrenched oligarchy.
