It’s always talked about in the media as if everyone cares, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a normal person complain.

    I’m not saying other benefits aren’t there, it’s just that we know a lot of regulatory agencies are being severely cut so it’s gonna be less apparent soon enough. I’m in one of the higher tax brackets so aside from unemployment insurance, a lot of safety nets that require means testing are essentially inaccessible to me as well. Frankly it’s a miracle American society is still functioning even with so many tax cuts for corporations and the rich.

      True that. Our tax dollars could be spent much more effectively if our government was more focused on the wellfare of its people.
