What makes you feel good about the federal taxes and state taxes that you pay?

Parks
Libraries
First responders
Schools
Cemeteries
Streets

It means that I have income that many aren’t fortunate enough to have right now!!!

Being able to pay my share to the State and Government in which I have chosen to live.
Specifically:
The Public Infrastructure (Roads, Bridges, Highways)
Federal and State Emergency agency and funds when local disasters occur
A State and National Park System
Police and Firefighters
Public Schools (debatable at times)

Not much. I’d feel a lot better and far less poor if I had to pay, say, 75% less. Libraries (funded by property taxes) and parks are good, but I’d give them up if I were able to keep more of my own money and buy books and go to private-run parks for a nominal entry fee.

I want to add Social Services

Having partaken in Social Services when we needed it, I am glad to fund them so that other people in need can get it too.
