I agree. The idea sounds great in theory, but the money has to come from somewhere. With corporations and wealthy Americans lobbying for tax breaks there is less money to spend on things like schools and infrastructure. And of course they are not just lobbying the government, they are lobbying the people and the people eat it up.
They don't want higher taxes especially if it is to pay for a park because they don't have kids. Of course I'm generalizing and this is no way is an indictment of everyone. It's just that from personal experience with friends and family, it seems like the "low taxes no matter what" mindset with no though of repercussions is winning.
Of course (almost) no one ENJOYS paying taxes. Of course we (almost) ALL wish we could keep all of our money.
