why is it that the money i pay in tax, about 500 dollars every two weeks may some day go to send another family's children to school through grants, but because i pay so much in tax i couldn't afford to send my own children to school? where does my 1000 dollars a month go to, i know that we need schools and roads and the people running the show need to make a living to, but it seems a bit extreem to pay income tax, gas tax, cigeratte tax mortage tax and so on and so forth. if i had to guess i would say about 50-60 percent of my income goes to the government, and i can't think of a whole lot they have done for me. again we have roads to drive on and schools to send our children to, but that's about it, where does it all go? here's some food for thought, teachers where i'm from only make about 35,000 dollars a year, granted they only work 9 months out of the year, but the head of the board of edu brings in about 180,000 dollars a year, why does he need that much. anyone els feel the same
