Most of America's tax dollars are spent on the military. Eisenhower warned of the military/industrial complex decades ago. That money will keep being spent on the military. Incidentally, those taxes are used to pay the salaries of people making bombs we hope to never use. Every few years we modernize our bombs, so the whole process starts all over. Then, if your a responsible democrat president, you spend money on infrastructure, roads, internet access, airports. power grids,etc. If your a greedy republican, on the other hand, you lower taxes on the rich. As for sending our politicians home, well that won't work, but we could stop developing fighter aircraft that cost millions of dollars each. But then we have to find all those highly paid aircraft builders something to do that pays as well. Too bad they can't count on a regular paycheck developing a better infrastructure. We would all be a lot better off without what the republican party has morphed into.
