Well my taxes don't go to the same place that yours do, but I absolutely see your point. Big businesses getting huge tax breaks to the point of absurdity like that it ridiculous, but it's not like all or even most of your taxes go that way. The plural of anecdote etc....
I was more thinking of the struggling little guy. I'll pay a little extra so he can have a little of what he needs to survive. I'm happy to pay more in taxes so kids can have a better education, public water is safe and clean, and poor people in my little socialist country can have the luxury of seeing a doctor when they need to (as opposed to when they can afford to).
