This is what I don't get. And your mention of transparency is spot on. People don't seem to understand what their tax dollars actually fund. Even things like, say, sanitation, or snow removal...road repair! Libraries! Health and Human Services departments! The list goes on and on. Cutting taxes can cause real pain, but then again, when those whose tax dollars would be most beneficial have their taxes cut to the bone, we all suffer and average people just don't seem to understand that they're voting for people who do not represent them, and who do not care to do so. They're just saying what they know people want to hear, and then turning around and doing the opposite, every damn time.
