Why do people think that we have loans to other countries when we are billions of dollars in debt? Also people are very misled to think the our taxes go to the feds. Most of our tax money stays local. Property taxes pay for public services, gas tax pays for roads, etc. The fed get their money from walking down to the federal reserve and asking them to print more money. That is how the value of our money continues to drop and also how we are getting farther in debt. When our money was backed by gold, it was worth something. Now we are just taking the word of the government. In Roman empire, a gold coin would buy a very nice tunic, leather bealt, and fine sandals. Today, a gold coin will buy a very nice suit, leather belt, and nice pair of shoes. Prices haven't gone up, the value of our money has gone down. Partly because the feds keep printing more money! Want an interesting answer, go see who are we actually in debt to.

Foreign investment.
Loans.
People will shout "income taxes!" because they pay tax. Check out the documentary 'America: Freedom to Fascism.' You'll be surprised at the reason we are really forced to pay tax.
