In the USA, the majority of people pay very little tax. People are never satisfied who don't work for what they get, and by the time we pay all the freeloaders, there's not enough left for the working people to have a country that is up to the standard it should be.

It's not the job of the government to satisfy the people. It is the job of the government to govern the people and provide for the common defense and common welfare. That's why the government uses your tax money to pay for the military, build roads and bridges, provide money for public education, and provide welfare benefits to the most needy, provide basics like food (if you are poor enough to get food stamps), water and sewer (that is paid for with your property taxes).
Besides, the more you give a person, the more they would want in order to be satisfied. Humans by nature are greedy, so the more you give, the more they want. In other words, you will never be able to truly satisfy them to the point where they say they have been given enough.

Most people consider government a separate entity and not their own so government can never fullfill all our exprectation.
Governments deal with complex problem and its not easy to have a quick solution to it. I believe government does take many good initiative but results take time. Any change takes time, and it takes more time if majority people do not fully understand and support the initiative because it hurts them in short term.

Majority? All pay tax. There is excise on mfg. of match box. Every one use match box. So every 1 is tax payor.
Govt. can NOT satisfy each and every taxpayor. I can not satisfy all. I can try my best to give best to all. Satisfaction of all is impossible. Godd can NOT satisfy all. I can not satisfy all members in my family.
Govt. should must listen all information, messages, needs of all tax payors. Tax payers have right to tell.
There should be message counter at every post office. Every should be allowed to write to any deptt. and submit free of charge. Post office should forward message to proper deptt.

Because Govt. does not give any facility to the general public. The Govt. makes the rules to exploit the public only. Our Law has many loop holes and most of the people mold the rules for their benefit. The main thing is Govt. is Curreupt and so is the public.

The better question would ask why there is no accountability enforced on the misuse of tax dollars by our government.

Because its illegal not to pay tax. And the government is composed of a bunch of dimwits that don't know a thing about running a country properly.

Because if we don't pay taxes, they will put us in jail, impose fines and penalties. But if they don't satisfy us, there is no culpability. No one is going to impose punishment on the government.
