I don't see paying taxes as a "patriotic duty", but it's an obligation that
has to be met.

Also, the US budget spends about $700 BILLION toward Health and Human
Services. Hardly "tiny" in total dollars or percentage of the total budget.
There's over $600 BILLION spent on Social Security benefits. Roughly $1.3
Billion out of a total of close to $2.8 Billion in expenditures. Not quite
half, but not "tiny" by a long shot.

Should they spend less elsewhere? Maybe so. But that's not the point you
were trying to make.
