alt Hacker NewsThe US has below average middle class tax rates. But luckily we can just choose what our tax dollars are spent on through democracy! The main problem is nobody agrees about anything and lots of people are really dumb and can't handle the responsibility of electing competent people into government.

It would be a mistake to assume that people who don’t agree with you are really dumb.

Im not sure I agree that a two party system for 400 million people allows us to choose what our taxes are spent on.

This is naïve. The US government is less democratic than advertised, and there are many factors for that. Not going to write a tome, but if you're going to point a finger at one group, it shouldn't be private citizens.
