There is also the gov waste factor...which is why I disagree with liberal more governement stance. Fore example this article: http://www.askheritage.org/how-much-money-is-the-government-wasting/ ....now keep in mind that is just improper payments and vacant lots.

So lets carry this on. When I worked for the governement 10 years ago. I did absolutely nothing but watch movies all day. I made 6 grand a month salary and got 30 days a year vacation time. So I alone wasted 72,000 a year of US tax dollars for 9 years of my life. Now I'm just one in a sea of people doing the same thing, milking the checks waiting for to sign my leave form to take a nice vacation, so when we vote for more government, we vote for more people doing the same thing I did bc its a pretty cushy system.

Now let's take waste even further, end of fiscal year surplus funds and the use or lose policy. So we ordered everything under the sun. Depending on what pot of money the funds were, we ordered art and paintings for the office under the aesthetics and moral fund. For personal funds we all got oh about 400 dollar backpacks and lethermans and the most expensive flashlights (you know, all these things we needed for work). and this is just the beginning. Now, that's just an office of 7 people.

See how all of this is adding up? And thats just me and office of 7 people.
