I have to rethink my statement that was "Those who pay the most benefit the least", at least from a public services standpoint. I know I don't use any public services other than those that have to do with say, public safety and with the roads and maybe the bouys in the ocean, so while I pay, I don't get any more service than I need.

I will however fully agree that the inefficiency of the governments and what they do with the money seems to be the root of the problems and is why anyone who tells me that they will 1. cut taxes, and 2. eliminate waste will always get my vote.

And it is true that those who earn more pay more, up to a point. It will be interesting to see what happens in Massachusetts this upcoming election and even more so for the presidency in 08.
