Just because someone else has it worse doesn't mean you don't have it bad. I'll agree that people overlook what the goverment does. A major reason we have such high taxes is because people say "There is so much excess spending, cut a few of those programs", but everytime it is proposed to cut a bunch of programs they then say "Not that one, that is a good program, only cut the bad ones" Without realising that no matter what program you can find someone who thinks it is good. Since few people are willing to stand up and say "cut them all, including the ones that binifit me" nobody is going to cut all the excess programs. So we whine without changing things.

I don't want to say right or wrong. Just the way it is.
